Something like this perhaps might do okay.

box {-1,1 scale <4,3,.1>
 texture {
  pigment { rgbft <1.5,1.5,1.5,.25,.125>}
   normal {granite .15 scale .005}
    finish {ambient .05 diffuse .5 specular .8 roughness .01 reflection .15}
  scale 2 // scale texture to suit object/scene size
 }
  interior {ior 1.5 caustics 1}
}

sphere {<0,0,1.5>,1 pigment {color red 1}}

light_source { <-.5,1.25,-1.5> color rgb <1,.95,.9>
}
camera {
  location  <1,.75,-2>
  angle 65
  look_at   <0, 0, 0>
}
