Nice.
I'll try area light, and I'll increase the light (is this good English?).
Why don't you try to make this crystal lie in the ground more naturally? I
think it would look great also in a plain plane with some reflection and a
skysphere:
plane {y,0
pigment {rgb 1}
finish {ambient 0 diffuse 0.5 specular 0.25 roughness 0.01 reflection 0.2}}

then:
sky_sphere {pigment {rgb <.6,.8,1>}}

then add fade_power 2 to the light_source and a quite short fade_distance.
Finally try adding another fading light_source (bluish) behind the crystal.
The light sources have to be quite near to the crystal.
