This sounds interesting . :-) This is one of the areas that I have little
knowledge in. IIRC, I remember reading references to crushing various gems to
powder and using them in "medicines" but I am unaware of their use as a food
ingredient. I would be most greatful if the list would share bibliographic
references, URLs, personal knowledge and experience in practical application.

Well, Mistress Lijsbeth (Who's on the list but terriblely busy, so may
not read this very soon! ;-) ) mentioned something last night about amber
chunks being served in coffee as a piece of "conspicuous consumption" in the
middle east durring period. No idea what her sources are, of course, but
hopefully she'll answer in due time............ :-)
