I intend to use this picture in place where it needs to have either a black or a
transparent background (can POV-Ray do transparent backgrounds?). I also intend
to use some different textures to make different gems (diamonds, emeralds,
sapphires, rubies, etc). Because of this I think its best to just keep the black
background.

What do people think about the overall look of this gem (stone5)?
