What is flint.
Question asked by: john helm
Asked on: 16 Jul 2008
Flint is a very hard type of stone, and hence its traditional use in starting fires by flicking two pieces where the friction between the hard surfaces causes a spark.
It is a form of the mineral quartz specifically, the way in which flint forms is not fully clear.
