Acadia, the material you posted a few posts ago had diffuse color turned it - that will ruin the effect. In this last one you turned the diffuse color to black (effectively turning it off) and you noticed you're getting closer.
But you're still trying to use reflection with the Fresnel node. If you're using the Fresnel node, you should not be using the Reflection node as well. The Fresnel node includes correct calculation of reflection and refraction and by you adding another reflection you're overdoing it.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
