    Is it possible for you to wax up the stones on a glass easel much as
    a stained glass artist would to check the flow of light through an
    unbuilt window?  We use a combination of beeswax and rosin that is
    rolled into balls and pushed onto corners of the glass onto the
    glass easel.  Sometimes the glass remains that way on the easel for
    days while we review colors under changing light, effect of
    painting, etc.  Might work with gems also... you could even tape
    various colors of paper behind the stones to see the effect clothing
    might have.  Just a thought... not necessarily good. 

Good luck,
