Ah, I see... you're not giving it a filter or transmit greater than 1
so that's not the problem... You know what, try using conserve_energy.
I can see how it could be a problem with a lot of TIR taking place.

More of the diamonds' inside showing up due to internal reflection as Peter
has said.

I was going to suggest that too.

Sorry, I've been away with workrelated stuff. Where should the
conserver_energy statment go, and is there any documentation of the
statement?

Thanks! :-)

Aha! So that's what conserve_energy is. Thank you very much. I've made a
low-quality render which looked very promising. (8+1 hours photons+trace)

I'll tweak some more and post it so Steve et al. can have a go with it.

finish {conserve_energy}  in the objects texture statement  :-)  Just think of
it as a counterpart to 'reflection'.

Duh! :-) I already got it... what do you think I traced the diamond ring
with, eh? My fingers?

Alas, conserve_energy doesn't seem to help much on the way too bright
diamond. :-/
