Does anyone know where I can get lucite rod stock that looks like amber?

That stuff is sometimes sold as "tortoise shell". I've rarely found any in lucite though, mostly as polyester.

Have you tried Pipemakers Emporium? ( http://www.pipemakers.org )

Depending on how big you need the stem to be, you can get lucite pen blanks in tortoise/faux amber from most places that sell pen blanks.
