What oil?

[petershell]

Hi,
Just small remark about using oil (any).. if you have to (in case of some shells), use mineral oil. Anything more complicated in therms of ingreedients should not be used. The best in my opinion is liquid parafine. You have to ask in cosmetics/drug store (women use it usually after manicure :-)). It is miracle how it preserve some shells, keeps them in nice condition and of course makes them look better if they are dull.
