Talmud for Parah 5:9

שְׁתֵּי אֲבָנִים שֶׁהִקִּיפָן זוֹ לָזוֹ וַעֲשָׂאָן שֹׁקֶת, וְכֵן שְׁתֵּי עֲרֵבוֹת, וְכֵן הַשֹּׁקֶת שֶׁנֶּחְלְקָה, הַמַּיִם שֶׁבֵּינֵיהֶם אֵינָן מְקֻדָּשִׁין. עֲשָׂאָן בְּסִיד אוֹ בְגִפְסִים וְהֵן יְכוֹלוֹת לְהִנָּטֵל כְּאַחַת, הַמַּיִם שֶׁבֵּינֵיהֶם מְקֻדָּשִׁין:

Two stones made to surround one another, forming a trough [between them], and similarly two willows, and similarly a trough which was divided [into two], the water in between them is not sanctified [when the water in the troughs is]. If they were formed with plaster or gypsum and they can be lifted as one [vessel], the water between them is sanctified [along with the water in the troughs].
