    When polishing any stone or shell it is common to dry the stone in a
    towel. That towel can be a source of dust from the stone or shell
    when it dries. 

    Cutting and polishing any shell creates very small shards of the
    shell. These shards can cause damage to the lungs. Shell should never
    be cut or polished dry. It should only be cut under a flow of water.
