As for the general scale of the translucency parameter, I toyed around 
with it until I found a setting that seemed to convey the right sense of 
scale and material to me. It was just a matter of "this looks to solid" 
vs. "this looks too waxy".

As for the red component, I decided that I wanted thin portions of the 
material to have a somewhat reddish tint, despite of the overall 
greenish appearance. To achieve this, red light needs to travel further 
inside the material than other colors.
