Take a look at the links and you will find places that sell most of what you a re looking for.
Pure abalone is very expensive, but you can get abalone acrylic from Masecraft.

Look at Luthier's suppliers and search on Ebay. I bought some MOP off of Ebay once.

I did and didn't like what I saw. Thus, the reason for asking.
