Does this look like a glass cube?

#version 3.6;
#include "colors.inc"
#include "CIE.inc"

global_settings {
  max_trace_level 1024
  ambient_light White
  assumed_gamma 1.0
}

camera {
  location <3.5,3.5,0>
  //rotate <0,-clock*360,0>
  look_at <0,0,0>
}

light_source {
  <1000, 1000, 0>
  color White
}

plane {
  y, -10.0
  pigment { checker Green, White }
}

box {
  <-1,-1,-1>,<1,1,1>
  pigment {
    transmit 1
  }
  finish {
    ambient 0
    diffuse 0
    conserve_energy
    reflection {
      1.0
      fresnel on
    }
    specular 0
    roughness 0.001
  }
  interior {
    ior 1.5
  }
}

As I said, something doesn't look right here.  Thank you so much for your help!
