    Hi All; Some of you have mentioned using "cool-jewel" (sp?) and other
    gelatinous products, as well as wet cotton, etc., to prevent a stone
    from exposure to excessive heat when soldering.  I would like to
    suggest a product I was introduced to many years (decades, really)
    ago that I think is much easier to use and more effective.  It's
    called "Feldina" and the only supplier I've seen who carries it is
    Geisswien (sp?).  It's a gray powder, looks like asbestos but it
    isn't.  Add water to achieve the consistency you want.  It's easy to
    submerge an article in, holds water well, and cleans up easily and
    it's fairly cheap.
