You need only specify a spacing or a count; they're essentially two
different ways to get the same effect. I don't know offhand what sort of
results spacing .08 would give, but count 5000 is far too low; try half
a million for good results.

60 should be plenty. Guess I was wrong about that.

I don't know proper values for diamond offhand, but these sound
plausible to me. I guess I was 1 for 3. Still, try increasing the number
of photons (and comment out dispersion for test renders!).
