    I too am not a jeweler yet, but I have had several people ask me
    about cutting amber at some point. There is definately a certain
    market for it.  Some like it for the color, some like it for the
    interesting inclusions that can be found in it, some like it for the
    metaphysical properties it contains, and some want it for its
    "magical powers."  I know someone who practices witchcraft, and she
    has an amber ring that she says has something to do with that(I
    havent talked to her in depth about it)  apparently if you practice
    wicka, once you reach a certain point, you need to have an amber ring
    for some spells you might cast... 

    Amber isnt very practical as a ring stone, or very practical in
    jewelery, but there are quite a few people out there who want it for
    various reasons.  It dosent really matter why they want it.  If they
    want it, then someone has to make it. 

Mike
