Hi, Ross and the rest of you!

An old book I have, by Walter  Freeman Webb, says to dip the shellsin hot muriatic acid (yuck, that's dangerous) and then plunce them into ice cold water.   Needless to say, I have never tried it, so I don't know if it works or not.  But I do have some of those "polished" shells, which I obtained a long time ago from curio shops.

Cheers,
Linda
