Yep. If you have a lot of participants, you have to assume that the stone will be damaged in the process, or at least significantly thinned. So you will have to be recompensed for it.
You sign up people in advance, and have them pay the non-refundable 10$.
This means that you have the money in advance, and the risk to you is low to none.
You might get the stone back afterwards, but it will be a lot thinner, it might have scratches.
The participants pay 10$ for the privilege of joining in the pass-around, and when they actually get it, they have to pay for shipping to the next person. If the stone is lost, then that is part of the risk they accept in advance.
You also tell each person whom to send it to next, so you are in control the whole time, and you can track who is in posession of the stone at which time.
