Hi Carlos,
I think you might use the same way I regularly use for cowries: put them
in absolute alcool for some time (a pair of weeks at least) and then let
them dry. This is good working will all shells under 1 cm, but I have used
it also for Luria lurida and Erosaria spurca with great results.
Have a nice shelling, Paolo (Bologna, Italy)
