How to drill a hole in sea shells

Sounds simple enough to drill a hole in sea shells, but when I tried masonry and standard steel drills would crack the shell. Lots of info online states using slow speed and water to help, but that wasn’t working for me either.

I decided to purchase some 3mm diamond hole saw bits from eBay to try for a few dollars each, and it turned out they got through the sea shells very quickly with minimum cracking.
