    I know this thread is about oyster shells, but it brings to mind
    something I learned on Orchid awhile back: Abalone shell dust is
    extremely toxic, and should only be worked on under water. 

    I know I'm changing the subject somewhat, but I figure that those
    who are interested in working with oyster shells would likely be
    interested in other shells as well, and I believe safety warnings are
    always worth mentioning.
