You can make nuggets/pebbles from any glass you have on hand and in any size you wish... pretty much.

I think the choice of separator must be important since I've seen so much discussion about cleaning the bottoms.
'Back in the day' I just put a piece or a small stack of pieces on the shelf & fired to the look I wanted - maybe 1300°F? I used kiln wash I got from a potter friend.

Bullseye's fit ball project sheet gives some information that might be helpful with larger balls/nuggets/pebbles:
