Description and Definition of Flint. What is flint? Flint is a hard kind of stone, a large somewhat impure variety of quartz, usually found in gray, brown, reddish or nearly black colors and often has a glassy or waxy appearance. Flint was used for the manufacture of Stone Age flint tools as it splits into thin, sharp splinters called flakes when struck by another hard object such as a hammerstone.

Flint – implements and tools were used by Native American Indians before the use of metals to make tools and weapons such as axes, arrows, spears, knives, tomahawks, etc. All of these objects were commonly made of flint, but other hard stones such as chert, jasper, chalcedony, granite, basalt and sandstone were also used.
