If the eeveelutions got changed to all be results of evolution-stones, these are the stones I'd pick for each eeveelution.
I normally see people suggest Sun/Moon stones for the GS-eeveelutions (seems obvious considering they are day/night counterparts, as well as already having had Sun and Moon "Shards" as evolution items in Gale of Darkness), but I always felt like Sun and Moon stone have too much thematic flavor to them, while the others are more raw and obvious elemental energy.
And the Shiny and Dusk stones represent day and night as well, just in more elemental aspects.

Clarification: The Shiny and Dusk stones are called the Light and Darkness stones in japanese. The translators messed up and named the "Awakening stone" the Dawn Stone, which unfortunately makes it seem like a counterpart to the Dusk stone to international players, when the Dawn stone is the "special" stone with a unique gimmick, and the Shiny and Dusk stones are counterpart stones that always get new evolutions added simultaneously.

For Sylveon I see 2 options actually. The Moon Stone could be a solid choice for it even moreso than for Umbreon, due to the moons association with the Fairy-type in some aspects.
But since it is a Sun stone counterpart...I prefer the Dawn Stone.

Of course the Dawn Stone would probably require that Sylveon be a gender-specific evolution only...which would probably be female.
And if we consider that Eevee has a 7:1 male to female ratio that would actually make it more special and fit the concept of the Dawn stone of "bringing out an unexpected side of a Pokémon-line" in that sense.

...of course this is just for fun, as none of this is ever going to happen, since GF is obsessed with coming up with unnecessary things just to not break consistency and avoid making any retcons XD
