    I'm not Craig, but maybe I can help.  A relatively inexpensive (~$US
    20.00) book called _Introduction to Lapidary_ by Pansy Kraus opened
    the door to lapidary for me.  I'm still learning, but the
    information in this book got me started well.  There are several
    sections where she discusses how to handle soft organic materials
    like amber.
