You really don't need anything special, just clear glass and some opaques that don't mind being encased, i.e. not red, yellow or orange in large quantities. Seems like there was a tut for this somewhere, let me go look.

ETA OK, I don't know how to post a link, but go to the Tutorials page, and in Free Tutorials, look for "Mandrel wound implosion bead tutorial".

Laura Sparling also has a great "Flurry Bead" implosion tutorial (as well as several other tuts) that she's shared with the community...
