    No, not as such. A subcategory can only belong to one category.
    The way to get the results you want would be using search criteria, possibly adding fields to the products and integrating those fields with the advanced search function. New searchable fields would be a major project, requiring considerable PHP/MySQL and Zen Cart knowledge.

    Think 'linked products' instead of 'shared sub-categories'.

    By creating Master Categories by Stone type and setting up your products there, you can then link those products to any category / sub-category you desire. That would get you started as you can use default settings. After that you can focus on any necessary custom coding.
