You can do it while washing before parboiling as well as while washing after parboiling.

Pour in a large quantity of water and allow to settle for a few minutes. The effect of the force of gravity will have the heavy stones dragged to the bottom of your washing basin or pot.

Then gradually collect the beans layer by layer till you get to the bottom of the pot or basin where all of these stones are lodged. Here you can then apply more carefulness in separating the stones from the seeds.
