Flint is a semiprecious, hard, sedimentary quartz gemstone.
Flint is usually dark-grey, blue, black, or deep brown in color, and often has a glassy appearance. It occurs chiefly as nodules and masses in sedimentary rocks, such as chalks and limestone.
This English Flint nodule specimen is from the base of the white cliffs of Southern England.
The flint occurs as horizontal layers in the chalk cliffs. Once the flint nodules fall into the sea from the eroding cliffs, they are beaten by the waves into the material that forms the beaches. These nodules were collected before the flint fell into the water and they still have the natural shape and distinctive white skin.
