Recovering bleached Cypraea...

[conchylinet]

Dear all,
I rencently accidentally sink 2 Cypreae with other shells in bleach and they came out terribly awful, their nice shiny surface turned into a chalky white color...
Any idea on how to recover (at least a bit) of their original aspect?
Thank you.
