Best Answer

If the shell has faded or lost its transparency due to drying out, humidity, overexposure to light or other factors you can soak it in a bath of light vegetable oil (corn) overnight. Followed by a vigorous rubbing with a leather chamois or soft cloth. For general preservation a periodical application of beeswax should be sufficient.
