Reference for Avodah Zarah 84:1
והא שיפויין דעיקר עבודת כוכבים קיימת וקתני לצרכה היא אסורה ושיפוייה מותרין
But what about chips [chipped off an idol] where the basic part of the idol remains, and it was taught [above]: “If he did so for the idol’s own need, it, it is prohibited but its pieces are permitted.”
