Thank you both! That means a lot.

Yup. Four planes blobbed together (thanks to Mike Williams for that), with a
large-scale agate and small-scale granite added in for the crevasses and
surface roughness respectively. It's really slow to render because the
resulting max_gradient is almost 24,000!

PS I, too, favour the first version. But once I'd started rendering the
second, it became a matter of principle...!
