Is This White/Cloudy Interior Normal for Baltic Amber? Worth Polishing or Leave Natural?

I found a piece of what I believe is Baltic amber (?), found in the North Sea! And I was wondering if some of these features are common.

The inside looks very white/cloudy in some areas — is that normal for Baltic amber? Also, the surface has these ridge-like structures/textures.

Another question: if I polish it, would it still be possible to see any insects or inclusions inside, despite the white/cloudy areas?

Part of me likes the natural rough structure, but I’m also curious whether it would be worth polishing to better see what’s inside. What would you do?

Extremely unsure about where to put horizon line

I’m a complete beginner, and I often feel that my landscape photos look better when the horizon line is centered. This is especially true when there are leading lines or diagonal cliffs along the sides that extend beyond the horizon.

When is it better not to center the horizon? I know reflections on water are one example where a centered horizon can work well, but what about other situations?
