    We did this years ago with those purple fragments of the clam shell
    lip that you find on the beach. We used our cabbing equipment (wet
    polishing) with cerium oxide, and wore masks since shell dust can be
    hazardous. They took a beautiful polish and made some pretty cool
    jewelry back in our wire wrapping days....
