thanks!

Chalices are for experts only! Don't bother unless you have years and years of knowledge about chalices.

Just break off all the dead area with your hand or most ppl use bone cutters or scisors. At this point all you can do is break it off and hope for the best. I am no expert but never lost a chalice. I have had some drop between rocks for weeks and took them out and I still have them.

It looks to me like something is eating the chalice. It is also possible that the chalice has brown slime or rtn/stn. You may want to determine what the problem is before you hack it up. Cutting away the diseased area is a last ditch effort IMO.
