I knew what you meant, and I think it's a mistake to exclude the non-air
index of refraction. The post you showed me (Bill's) looks like wax,
though I won't claim to be innocent of producing such an effect. Your
render looks like fine glass or opal. To remove the 1+ ior from the
equation would be to reduce the quality of this fine render.

I disagree. The ior looks much more realistic! And the long render time
involved? You got through this render, didn't you? ;)
Your image is now on my desktop :)
