    I made a tack stick which I use for pulling cabs from bezels-- it is
    beeswax which I kneaded with powdered charcoal. got the recipe from
    Carles Codina's book.  I use it to pick up small stones, and it is
    also so wickedly sticky that I can use it to pull a stubborn
    cabachon from a bezel.  When photographing cabachons, I have found
    that I can take a very small pinch from my tack strip (aka setters
    waxstick) and use it to position the cabs and set them upright.
    Being black, it has it's advantages when photographing stones.
