Thanks Skip! I plan to render minerals that I have found and/or have in 
my collection.

Well good luck with it! Instructions for use are given in the file itself.

I don't know. It depends on whether you save time with both rendering 
and parsing, or just parsing. If it's the latter, then probably not.

I think you just save shooting the photons after parsing
has finished but before the actual render starts.

Nice. Even for crystal it looks sharp. Some micro-bevels might add to
the realism, but would likely be difficult with your intersecting planes
construction technique.
