Can you work with billets? Gaffer makes a casting crystal with a high lead content – and beautiful refraction – but it is only available in billets. These folks sell it:

Firing lead glass is safe. If you are going to do any cold-working/grinding/sandblasting then you really need to take respiratory safety seriously. Breathing in ground lead glass is a bad thing.
