Thanks Skip, nothing to it really. No radiosity, no HDRI.  :-)  Script
follows:

  finish {
   ambient 0 diffuse 0.2 specular 0.5 roughness 0.01
   metallic brilliance 4#if(Rad=yes)*1#else/1.5#end
   reflection {0.0,0.3 metallic exponent 0.7}
   conserve_energy
  }

The thing that probably helps it most is that I used high values of color in
the pigment, rgb < 5, 5.5, 6 > while the diffuse is kept low but not to
zero. Also note the rarely used reflection 'exponent'.
