    I have a couple of books somewhere I will find the referances for
    you. Always wear a mask when carving shell because they can be
    poisonous, eye protecton as well MOP is brittle. it is one of the
    most challenging shells I have carved cameos in you can be almost
    done and lose it lol like any natural substance hidden areas can
    cause trouble. 

    be relaxed acept the failures as learning and be pleased when it
    turns out. Good philosophy for carving natures bounty. After all your
    material is free. 

    Also you wet carve shells cuts down on the dust. I will find the
    books. They deal with carving ivory and shell and jet.
