Reference for Avodah Zarah 98:16

ואיבע"א דכ"ע שברי שברים מותרין והכא בעבודת כוכבי' של חליות ובהדיוט שיכול להחזירה קמיפלגי מ"ס כיון דהדיוט יכול להחזירה לא בטלה ומ"ס אין עבודת כוכבים בטלה אלא דרך גדילתה דהיינו אורחיה הא לאו גדילתה היא ואין צריכה לבטל:

Or if you wish, I can say that they all agree that the fragments of the fragments are permitted, and here they differ with respect to an idol which is formed in sections and with regard to an ordinary man who is able to restore it. One holds that since an ordinary man is able to restore it, it is not annulled; while the other holds that an idol need only be annulled when it is in its natural form, that is, the form it normally assumes. So in this instance it is not in its natural form, and there is no need to annul it.
