    You say you are seeing through the "well faceted stones"  If you see
    through them they are not well faceted;  they are "windowed" 
    meaning the proper pavillon angles were not used allowing you to see
    through them.  If faceted at he proper angles the light bounces
    around in the pavillon and comes back out the table of the stone. 

    For a more complete explanation see John Sinkankas "Gem Cutting".
