Not sure where I can find milky white pebbles, regular pebbles shouldn't be too hard.

But I'd like to maybe coat them in something, to make them shiny and maybe less harsh on the wood and/or paint. Any idea on what to use for this?

Its traditional to use cowrie shells for mancala , just do a search for them they are readily available many places. They are shiny so you wouldn't have to do anything to them.

I've seen those before, but I find them a bit too small and light-weight.
The feeling when playing is a bit off. I think I like the stones to be bigger and heavier.
It feels better and it looks better as the indents are huge compared to the cowrie shells.

Maybe some bigger shells.

You can get cowrie shells all different sizes up to almost tennis ball size, but if you don't like them it doesn't really matter. Good luck on your search.

Use pussy pearls

Use those little glass stones they put on fish tanks or marvels

1, How much for the mancala box? That looks very nice.

2, Try a place like Michaels or AC Moore. They usually have glass beads that can be used for mancala stones in several colors and finishes for cheap.

you could use low denomination foreign currency, like euro cents and pesos.

+1 for fish tank glass stones, but that's what they always put in store-bought mancala boards so you might want to get something different so yours continues to stand out

Go to a comic store or a table top game store they sell cool little stones used for games they are called counters
