    The important things, as mentioned before are protecting the stone
    and using a hot, small flame, like oxy propane, for example.
    Protecting it can be done a number of ways, including commercial
    pastes that can be molded around the stones or you can take wet
    toilet paper and wrap around it, or take a small jar lid (metal) and
    fill with water. Then let the stone and one end of metal dangle lie
    in the water while you melt the other end.
