Removing glued metal from shell

Hi friends, I have a beautiful large carved shell button that someone has glued a metal cross on. I think Super Glue must have been used. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the metal without harming the shell? Thank you very much.

Sometimes freezing it will crack the clue depends on the type. When you take it out of freezer see if you can pop it with a knife. Good luck. Nancy?:|
