I have a concept for a golem (large construct) but I'm not sure what the stat block would look like (Could someone help me with that?) so here it goes:

Glass golem, Large construct
When this creature is destroyed it explodes sending shards of glass and other shrapnal dealing 1d6 slashing damage, various chemicals dealing 1d6 acid damage and a 5% chance for each point of damage (cumulative) to deal 1d6 fire damage, and cogs and bolts dealing 2d6 bludgeoning damage. This creature is made of glass (I don't have my books so I also need the hardness there) and has a very low AC and HP an especially rescoursful and melicious spellcaster may also place some extra objects inside to deal more damage or effects (Such as contact posion)

To construct a glass golem you need 15,000gp worth of expensive materials, a death throes spell (from complete arcane but if you don't have access to the book for your campaign an extra 500gp of materials), and gease/quest

I know it's not very complete but that's just the concept I need someone to make a stat block if they could :) because I'm bad with stat blocks lol so thanks in advance.

Um, the obvious solution would be to make a clockwork golem. Various shrapnel, fire, bolts, and chemicals held in glass containers that are held in its body. Enough to hold one or two uses of a alchemic substance or acid. In addition, it should be able to use those substances as breath weapons.
