idk but without breaking it into a million pieces i'd try to slide something really thin under it, maybe a razor blade or a thin knife. looks like it's gonna be tough.

I had a similar experience, got stuck on the gflintix9s and it was game over, no way to remove without breaking. Good luck, you'll need it.

I attempted the same method, but it didn't work out. Ended up cutting out the middle frag disk, and then just scrapped off the rest. Managed to save a small piece aside from the disk.

You could try using a razor blade or possibly a putty knife, depending on the rock next to it. If you can't move the rock, the razor blade might be a better option.

Razor blade's probably the best bet, no other way around it
