Sizes and quality
The Glowstone texture is 16×16 pixels in game. Here it scales by multiplying each pixel by a whole number, so at 1024 px every pixel is a perfect square and the edges stay sharp. No interpolation smudging the pixel art.

Glowstone hangs in clusters from ceilings and overhangs in the Nether. It appears in every Nether biome, though it is scarce in soul sand valleys because their ceiling is soul sand and soul soil. It gives light level 15, the maximum, the same as sea lanterns and shroomlights.
Broken without Silk Touch it drops 2 to 4 glowstone dust, and four dust craft back into the block. Fortune makes the maximum more likely but never goes past 4. Despite the name, a pickaxe does not break it any faster. If you would rather skip the Nether, journeyman clerics sell it for 4 emeralds.
It is what charges a respawn anchor, the block that lets you respawn in the Nether, and a dispenser facing the anchor can charge it automatically. The dust also boosts potion strength.
In redstone it has a particular use. Because it is transparent to signal, redstone dust on top lets a signal climb diagonally but not travel back down through the block. That makes it handy for vertical diodes, though upside-down slabs do the same and are easier to get.
