looks pretty good ...
looks as if you didn't use just a sphere ...
but have some irregularities in the shape ...
which seems more realistic.
the original black pearl thread is here:
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/thread/%3C4357addf%241%40news.povray.org%3E/?ttop=220778&toff=50
which contains some of the texture code experiments.
