Flint is a natural stone that helps us to connect with the primal, instinctual energies of the ancient world. It has been used as a protective stone for driving out negativity and warding against malicious influences, while sparking courage and confidence in oneself. Resonating strongly with the Root Chakra and Sacral Chakra, Flint is a gem for building a sense of personal security through decisive action, motivation, and courage. Because of this, as well as its reputation as a shielding stone, Flint is considered a gem for warriors and leaders, assisting in facing challenges and seeking opportunities.

Flint is a natural gemstone comprised of concretionary or nodular Chert, often found within chalk, dolomite, or limestone. Intergrowths of Chalcedony, iron oxides, or other materials can result in a variety of colors, although Flint is most often found in shades of deep grey. The brittle nature and low porosity of Chert and Flint made them ideal materials for tool and weapon making in the Stone Age, with Flint knapping resulting in arrowheads, spear tips, and stone knives.
