There's a new book out that the Metropolitan Museum of Art has
on the subject of "pietre dure, or hardstones, this type of artistic 
expression includes "paintings in stone", which were composed of 
intricately cut separate pieces that were made into magnificent 
tabletops, cabinets, and wall decorations."

It's titled *Art of the Royal Court: Treasures in Pietre Dure from the 
Palaces of Europe.

There's another titled: **Pietre Dure: The Art of Semiprecious Stonework*

There's a special exhibit--

This might be a place to start for the mosaic part.
