Hi,Damodar

Glass block are 2 types Chinese , Malaysian make .Chinese will rage 110-140 & malaysian 170 -200 per brick.They are available in 7"x7",10"x10" standard sizes.On top of these you get spanish or italian make glass brick in the same size of red brick.They will cost about 500 - 600 /- per brick.

The glass block are fixed using clear silicon,opening sizes should be left to the exact size of glass block.They vary in mm from brand to brand.so buy a sample give to the mason.In general granite border would be a great idea for finishing.
Attached a reference image .

Using a branded silicon like Dr.Fixit would be a good idea.
