This sucker took 22 hours to render on a 1ghz.

They look impressive but not quite what one would expect from a real
diamond.

A diamond is know to have 58 factes (cuts) but the girdle (diameter) of
the diamond also has either 16 or 32 cuts, in my case I used 32 giving
90 cuts total.  Each cut is a plane intersection.
