Ah, well I did post a link last night, at the end of my "Dielectric experiments"
thread in PBI, along with the source, but here it is again...

I wanted to observe the changes that occur as the IOR changes from 1
(completely transparent) to 80,000 (completely solid/reflective) so I made this
video and posted it on Vimeo:

I didn't realize the default Vimeo aspect ratio would distort my shot so much
until after it uploaded, so my orb looks like an egg (I'm re-rendering at the
Vimeo's default 800x480 to fix it).

The refraction and photons are fun to watch, the reflection not so much, so I
used a spline to control the IOR and "speed up" most of the reflection frames. I
was especially suprised by the lens-flare-like photon effect that happens on
the table between IOR 3-4; pretty cool. Enjoy!

Cheers,
Rob
