Flint is a cryptocrystalline, quartzose sedimentary rock - its geologic name is "chert". A famous occurrence of high-quality, colorful flint is Flint Ridge, Ohio. Prehistoric American Indians quarried this material to make arrowheads, spearpoints, and other tools. Flint is the "official state gemstone" of Ohio.

Flint Castle (Welsh: Castell y Fflint) located in Flint, Flintshire, was the first of a series of castles built during King Edward I's campaign to conquer Wales.
The site was chosen for its strategic position in North East Wales. The castle was only one day's march from Chester, supplies could be brought along the River Dee and there was by a ford across to England that could be used at low tide.

Flint Duxfield and Crack of Doom. If it sounds like an adventure story, that's because it is Flint. Climbing's answer to Peter Parker and Clarke Kent together, Flint is a mild mannered reporter and photographer by day, but when the rock is in danger of going unclimbed, FD comes to it's rescue, and stylishly at that.
Flint Castle, located in Flint, Flintshire, Wales was the first of a series of castles built during King Edward I's campaign to conquer Wales.
Situated over a harbour on the River Dee estuary, construction began in 1277 and continued for nine years. The castle is believed to have been based on French (or Savoyard) contemporary models, with one of the corner towers enlarged and isolated, made to serve as keep (e.g. Dourdan). The keep itself is of a unique plan to the British Isles, with the only close parallel to be found at Aigues-Mortes, France, which King Edward I, may have been familiar with. This plan, with the isolated keep was not repeated in the other castles of Edward I (see Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd).
In 1399 Richard II of England was captured and held there before being returned to London. The castle was occupied many times during the English Civil War and it has also been used as a quarry.
In 1838 J. M. W. Turner painted a watercolor of the castle.
