what about melting the gem stones locally so it is molten only in part and then fusing them together

like a weld. when we want to combine pieces of metal we wouldn’t completely melt them for example

or melting them just above their respective rating points so they still have a high viscosity, limiting diffusion of the individual component elements into each other

or rephrased

what about a process where the components are not in a thermodynamic or kinetic equilibrium?
