I am trying to create a "realistic" rose gold metal texture.  I want to have
very small dents and bumps
show up sparingly.  The example I have tried below creates small dents and
bumps but they are quite
close together and there are a lot of them.  What method/command in the
normal will space these small
dents and bumps much further apart but keep them as small?

#declare Gold_Texture2   =
   texture {
      pigment{ rgb <1.0, 0.50, 0.35>}   // Rose Gold color
      finish{
         metallic
         reflection 0.8
         ambient 0.01  // 0.2
         diffuse 0.5
         phong 1.0
      }
      normal { bumps 1 scale <0.1,0.1,0.3> scale 0.005}
      normal { dents 1 scale <0.01,0.01,0.03> scale 0.005}
   }

** Yes I know the double scale commands is a bit silly **

I'm attaching the "polished" version of the metal and the "denty" version of
the metal.
