Marble with a sharp edge works just as good. When you hit the flint with the steel your trying to cut the steel with the flints sharp edge. When you get it at the right angle at the right speeds the metal shavings fly off as sparks. To start a fire use char cloth to catch the sparks. I’ve started fires with flint and I’d have to say magnifying glasses are easier. Flint is just a gray smooth rock. You could also buy a magnesium flint bar which sparks better then any natural rock.
