Sheridan,

Urbanite is broken up concrete.  I have been searching fro some for 
quite a long time and finally found some small piece.  Usually when 
they break it up the pieces are huge and unmovable.

I am thinking that I will use stone mason techniques to build the 
wall as the Urbanite is roughly the size and shape of rocks.
