Default Mother of Pearl

Hi All,
Does anyone have any experience working with mother of pearl? I would like to
fashion some pocket knife handles out of it but have no idea how to work it.
Can it be sawn, filed, sanded, or buffed? Can it be drilled with high speed
steel twist drill bits? It appears to be brittle, is it? What questions do I
not know enough to ask!
TIA
Rick
