IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 
A less-than-faithful rendering of a Waterford crystal piece
        which was made to contain a small clock.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 
Primitives & CSG laid out in Moray,
        then the details worked over in POV-Ray for Windows.  The faceting on
        the crystal was done using surface normals.  The chromatic aberration
        that occurs in clear glass was simulated using three point lights-- one
        red, one green, and one blue-- each striking the object at a slightly
        different angle.  The result is visible upon close examination of the
        caustic refraction in the object's shadow, and in reflective highlights
        on the object.
