Looks beautiful but dangerous!

Great, I love POV diamonds!!  Great looking facets. Even the render time
seems acceptable, which comes as a surprise to me.

Is it an isosurface or csg? How is your light set up?

Very nice!. What about doubling the number of photons?

Looks like a picture from a catalog.  VERY realistic.

Nice job!

Solid mesh :)
Just one adaptive area_light with photons... what does the area_light
keyword in the photon block of a light_source do anyway? I put it in and got
no photons whatsoever.

You should see the sheetmetal one I have on my computer table. (j/k. I
do have a paper one though :)

Really? tnx!

I think it's interesting how the photons kinda made patterns like slash marks.
Adds to the dangerous look.

It is very photoreal looking. I have an acrylic christmas ornament that is
strikingly similiar to this. Really beautiful. Yours that is. . . mine's all
old and dirty now. :)
