  Surely hundreds of pov users tried that before... I just have done my
own attempt, with decent results for some situations, but only to find
that "surface microstructures" are something too hard to simulate with
micro-normals, or even with "real" micro-displacememnt (for example with
isosurfaces or fine meshes), mainly because you must use a really big
amount of samples per pixel.

  A close-up of the work table will be enough (a view similar to the
test scene), perhaps showing just one wall and other amber pieces, some
with strange/uknown insetcs.
