    I don't know if this will be at all helpful (I know diddly-squat
    about carving amber), but I noticed while searching for the green
    amber cabs that www.sweetgemstones.com carries large chunks of
    Colombian copal amber at what seem to be very reasonable prices.  
    The Baltic amber I found in a Google search was horribly expensive. 

    Thanks to everyone for all your replies, and for being so incredibly
    helpful! 

Orchid rocks!

Cheers,
