I have seen rough glass 'balls' at rail yards. About an inch to two inches
in size and green to green-blue in color (never colorless/clear).
Apparently shipped in this state (sorta unrefined) to manufactures for final
processing/remelt/molding. The 'ball' form is an easy shape to ship and
unload into hoppers.
