Chris Parson Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 I saw two clips on Youtube about the Monroe County Marble Club in Kentucky. They play "Rolley hole" with what they call flint marbles. I was hoping that some of you guys could educate me when it comes to this. I am only familiar with the south Scandinavian flint stone, which is dark grey, black or dark brown. In these clips, the flint marbles are white and light coloured so I am questioning if my understanding of flint is the same as their. Here is Clip 1 and Clip 2. Enjoy and kindly share your thoughts and information with me on this matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Flint can be many colors, it's mainly formed in limestone but varies in color and hardness and characteristics by region. It can be brown, red, tan, white, grey, yellow, orange, marbled variety of colors etc... Flint is basically hard chert, a form or quartz, from a scientific point of view.
