Changing out my rock work and I have a beautiful electric daisy stylo that I placed on the rock work a while back. It has since spread around 3 inches in circumference. What’s the best way to remove it from the rock work to I don’t kill it. I’m looking to see if I can get a stone saw to try to cut around it but if there’s an easier method, I would love to hear it. I’ll try to get a picture when lights are on.

If you don't want to kill it, you have to break or cut the rock it's encrusted on.

What type of rock. Does it have lots of holes you can jam a screw driver and try and strategically break the rock. Or get a angle grinder and a tile blade for it and cut the rock

It has a good amount of holes but it’s a big rock. I was thinking doing the angle grinder as well after chipping away most of the rock work
