In the mihrab of this mosque are 4 small pieces of black stone from the Kaaba in Mecca, bordered in gold. This might not be the right answer, i did some googling only.

Quoting Roswitha: What innovation of genious did Sinan incorporate into his Minbar of Sokullu Pasa Camii design? |
In this late stage of his life, Sinan tried to create unified and sublimely elegant interiors. To achieve this, he eliminated all the unnecessary subsidiary spaces beyond the supporting piers of the central dome. This can be seen in the Sokollu Mehmet Paşa mosque in Istanbul (1571-1572) and in the Selimiye mosque in Edirne. In other buildings of his final period, Sinan experimented with spatial and mural treatments that were new in the classical Ottoman architecture.

I have been in this mosque and another fact (if I remember correctly) is that the crown above the minbar is the only one, in Istanbul, decorated with tiles.
