And here's a higher resolution render (so far).

I realized I need to randomize the crackle to keep creation of the same object
from resulting in an exact duplicate.

That would be really cool.  Here is an image that uses glowing media with
radiosity.  (I will be releasing the source into the Object Collection under the
CC-LGPL licence within the next few days.)

This was only an option. It's obvious to me that it don't fit in all 
situations.

In version 3.7, use emission in the finish for the places that are 
suposed to glow.
That way, they will provide some lighting to the rest of the scene.

For your first tests, only use this radiosity block in your 
global_settings block:

radiosity{}

Now, reduce the intencity of your lightsource and go play with radiosity 
a bit...

For that, you can use a macro and a random stream.
