I have grand kids that occasionally give me a rock to tumble and when it's done I'd like to be confident I'm giving them back the same one they gave me. By the time it comes out of stage one I can't tell for sure which is their rock when there's more of the same type of rock in the tumble. Has anyone got any tricks to track a particular rock as it goes through the stages?

Only thing I can think of is throw it in with different stuff

As was said above the only way is to run them in a batch of known rocks that are night and day different from your grand kids rocks. In other words if your grand kids hand you some beach rocks then run them with a load of tiger eye for example. That should make it easy to pick theirs out at the end.

I hate when people give me a rock to tumble like that. I like to do it for them, but it's so hard to keep track of the rock. The first thing I do is take a picture of the rock setting on a piece of paper with the person's name on it. After the first week, it will change the most, so take another picture. After that, it won't change as drastically, so no more pictures. I also do what Ali and Chuck already mentioned.

I take pictures religiously of certain rocks in a tumble. The best course is too make sure the shape or the rock itself is different
