If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Very interesting Ascension. Good results too. The only thing I tried differently was to use a Threshold adjustment layer instead of tweaking contrast at the end. Seemed to give me a little more room to play with the final effect.
Here's the results from some more testing. I think they all have merit. The "displace" ones use a displacement map, the names being the name of the file that is the map I'm using. The numbers refer to the scaling I used (both X and Y). The fourth one uses the crystallize method Ascension showed. For reference, the grid is equal to 50 pixels per 5ft. I think the two using the "displace2-softer" map work well for mines or other roughly hewn walls. The "displace3" map produces a more jagged edge, maybe an ominous underdark lair. While I think Ascension's crystallize method produces a very nice natural cave wall. And with Photoshop actions, these can all easily be applied at the touch of a button. Thoughts?
Cool... I have even done a bit of this to "tile" floors to make the grout/grid look less uniform. I rather like the effect quite a bit.

Thanks Ascension.
The closest I can find in gimp is the cubism filter.
Here is your example along with the settings I used (plus a contrast boost):
