Flint (or Flintstone) is a hard, sedimentary cryptocrystalline silica rock with a glassy appearance. Flint is usually dark grey, blue, black, or deep brown in color. It occurs chiefly as nodules and masses in chalks and limestones.
    Along with chert, this mineral was one of the most commonly used materials for the manufacture of stone tools, as it splits into into thin, sharp splinters called flakes when struck by another hard object (such as a hammerstone made of another material). It remained an essential mineral resource for making fire, including the flint locks on early firearms, until the close of the 18th century. Since the dawn of European civilization, some of the best flint has come from Belgium and the coastal chalks of the English Channel and the Parris Basin.
    Massive white, cream, gray, brown to black, uniformly colored variety of Chalcedony, usually with some impurities. It is usually found in Limestone or Chalk. Flint fractures into very sharp points and was used by early man for making tools. Arrowheads were formed from Flint.
