| Did you know that in the New International Version bible there is reference to a mosaic pavement in the book of Esther (Esther 1:6 "There were couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and other costly stones". Porphyry is a hard igneous rock containing crystals (usually feldspar) in a fine-grained, typically reddish groundmass). |
