Looks nice, though small objects made of marble should show some sub-surface 
scattering, which would mean using media, which then wouldn't work with 
radiosity... Ah what fun :)

My suggestion: switch off radiosity and fake it with multiple light sources, 
once you have it looking about the same as this make all the dice 
transparent and fill them with dense scattering media with the same pattern 
as the pigments they have at the moment. It'll take hours of work and you'll 
get an image that is almost identical, but they will feel more like real 
marble dice!

Anyway, if you can do it it's worth the effort because sub surface 
scattering gives a clue to the size of the object, at the moment they look 
really large. Or you could change the material they're made out of to one 
that doesn't have significant sub-surface effects (I suggest metal or 
glass).

Also if you use a narrower field of view and moved the camera further away 
they'll look smaller... and that's gotta be easier than my first suggestion 
:)
