Heh, I have one (two, even) for which the best tools for removing
chunks are a wood chisel and a rubber mallet. (Have to be careful not
to scar the counter....)

That seems complicated.
I use a cork screw, the simple model in shape of T. It is always possible to
find a little hole to attack the block and then you just turn the tool to
get deeper. When you pull it out, small blocks of tea come with it. No
strength is needed.
I had tried the ice-pick and mallet before, and that didn't work for me.

Kuri,

I'm going to examine the brick again, but it looks impervious to such
treatment.
