Whoa! That second pic is really nice!

Neglect will eventually rid yourself of them, but it takes a while. Real story, but not my recommendation.

Some people will recommend using ice at the foot to get it to release.

Blasting the foot with a powerhead.

Hang the rock upside down out of the water, but over a bucket of water.

Personally I gently peel the edge of the foot, also use forceps to cut away at the rock just beneath the foot and essentially chisel a mm of the rock under the foot of the nem and peel back if you can.

Do wear gloves as it won't be pleasant if you touch it.

Good luck! Beautiful nems!
