Mosaic pieces (tesserae) do not always have to be perfectly cut. These stone pieces are various shapes but are roughly the same size. They are set into the tile adhesive/thinset, which fills any gaps between them. The variety of shapes makes the mosaic visually interesting and adds to its organic, rustic nature.
