It's true: diamond grit Sawzall blades and diamond edge round blades
are not THAT high, anymore, but I would rather start with a thin
abrasive cut off saw round blade to start with. How many Nautilus
shells will he chop up anyway?

I'd just try a fine tooth hacksaw first.
Might do fine on that shell.

Be almost like cutting a light bulb.

You just use a chain saw on light bulbs.
Nobody cares about how they come out.
