Yes, you can gently transplant it to get it into grittier soil. Transplanting can cause micro-tears in the roots that leaves them more susceptible to rot, so don't water for about 5 days after transplanting. Then, after splitting, use the firmness of the inner leaf pair to determine if your split rock needs water.
