I used fake (ceramic) travertine tiles, but the awesome contractor that did the work told me he has done several showers in Laguna Beach out of solid granite. For the floor, he lays some kind of bed (quikset?) with a low point at the drain, installs the one piece granite shower floor, then wedges it down at the drain by jamming a 2x4 between the floor and ceiling. He told me there's enough give in the granite so that it drains well.

He also does floors out of 4' by 4' and 4' by 8' granite - I have not seen it, but he says it looks awesome and has very few (micro) grout lines to deal with.
