Can someone who has done it tell me how to slice shells apart.  I would like
to cut both side off, leaving a flat piece that show the swirls inside.

A band saw? What blade?  A tile cutter?  Some other tool? What lubricant,
oil, water, or what?

I've seen them used in crafts, so know there must be some way to do it.
