I've never heard of a fruit preventing gall-stones; however, you can eat a low fat diet and include fiber and whole grains to prevent forming gall stones. Here is another tip; yo-yo dieting increases the formation of stones.
All natural Gall stone/liver flush recipe that I have used:

This is a natural fasting and flush where you use epson salts, olive oil and grapefruit juice to flush out your gall bladder. You will actually see the sludge and stones that come out...they are bright green!
Great question that benefits others! Thanks! Godloveya.

I am not sure that one particular fruit can prevent gallstones. Below is a clip from WebMD with some information on what you can do to help prevent gallstones:
Maintain a healthy weight
Stay close to a healthy weight. Research shows that intentional weight loss (dieting, not weight loss from illness) followed by unintentional weight gain may increase your risk for forming gallstones, especially if you are a woman.8 If you need to lose weight, do so slowly and sensibly. When dieting, aim for a weight loss of only 1 lb to 1.5 lb per week. For more information, see the topic Healthy Weight.
It is also important to avoid rapid weight loss and starvation diets. If you are on a rapid weight-loss diet, it is recommended that you be under a health professional's care. You may want to ask your health professional about taking medicines to help reduce your chances of developing gallstones while you are on such a diet.
Eat regular, balanced meals
Research shows that eating regular meals that contain some fat (which causes the gallbladder to empty) can help prevent gallstones. Eat plenty of whole grains and fiber, and have regular servings of food that contain calcium (found in green, leafy vegetables and milk products). Limit saturated (animal) fat and foods high in cholesterol.9
Exercise regularly
Increased levels of physical exercise also may be an important way to reduce your risk of forming gallstones. One study has shown that women who exercised regularly decreased their risk of having to have the gallbladder removed. Exercising 2 to 3 hours per week reduced the women's risk by 20%.10
In a large study of men, 2 to 3 hours of moderate running per week reduced by 20% the risk of forming gallstones that cause symptoms.11 Along with eating a low-fat diet, exercise is also an effective way to help you stay close to a healthy weight and lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
