I can't find one, but I know most natural stones that are rated at least a 7 on the Moh's hardness scale can withstand temps up to 1650 F. Diamonds are the exception- because they are carbon based they cannot take as high of a temp.

Go to http://www.ias.ac.in/currsci/dec102000/1... website & you can see a table of physical properties of many gemstones.
However, I suggest you create a table of your own and search each gem stone’s physical property one-by-one.
