Since Amber hasn't been in steven universe as a gem we cant be really sure were she would be on the totem poll. The only organic gemstone we know about is pearl and pearls are used as slaves, so I would assume that Amber wouldn't be that high on the totem poll either. But we can still make a pretty good guess on her personality. She would be very protective of her friends and to anyone she would get romantically involved with. She would be mothering. She could have some sort of healing powers, but maybe they would just work for organic life, so she wouldn't be too over powered. She would be confident, calm, and be very creative.
