Minerals - Flint - English Italian Hand

"Just about everyone knows what flint is. A common & abundant stone, flint was one of the most important materials of ancient cultures. A very durable stone, it was used to create sparks to starting fires, and for making all sorts of tools, such as ax heads and arrowheads, such as this one. When I was a young man my grandparents gave me this arrowhead. I was told that my father found this arrowhead when he was around 10 years old and they were on a vacation out west. My father doesn't recall the event.

Being such a common, unglamorous and functional stone, I thought the word should be rendered simply. But to make it somewhat interesting I employed this rare form of cap F."
