Amber can be polished? and if so with what?
The Amber is very soft, so it can easily be polished for many materials. As noted, amber often has internal fractures and can break under too much force. Care must be taken when using high-speed power tools, as the amber will melt if heated too high by friction. I recommend using water cold during the first shaping and polishing, as this heat away. I've linked below to a basic "how to" in the polished amber.

The Miracle Of An Amber Necklace
Amber necklaces have been popular over the years and have been used for babies who were showing signs of teething. Natural pain relief provided by amber necklaces is almost miraculous. Placing the necklace on the baby’s body allows their skin to warm the amber beads, releasing healing oils which are then absorbed into the blood stream. Only Baltic amber contains succinic acid. Parents who let their babies wear amber necklaces or other types of amber jewelry should beware of other sellers stating they sell “Baltic amber” yet the object may be mined in India, Tibet, China or Africa. Amber from these places do not contain the active ingredient succinic acid.
Some baby retailers that vend teething rings and other baby products sell original Baltic amber. Each necklace is hand-crafted by Baltic amber specialists with generations of experience working with this rare type of material. Every necklace features softly rounded Baltic amber beads that are carefully polished and is unlike cheaper amber chips. These are made specially to lay comfortably against the baby’s skin. This allows maximum skin contact and gives extra comfort to a teething child.
Succinic acid is actually fossilized resin produced by plants 40 to 50 million years ago. The resin would have been used by the tree as a natural antibiotic against infection, viruses, and even physical attacks. The tree would use the resin like a plaster or wound dressing and now that the resin has been fossilized, its healing properties have been captured in the resins which are released once the amber has been warmed. Amber necklaces are not only used as a pain reliever, but they can be considered good baby accessories or baby gifts. If you have a fussy child due to teething, why not give amber a try?
