Flint
Once upon a time, our earliest human ancestors lived pretty much like any other animal. Then something happened, something that led to civilization, which separated us forever from all other species and ultimately led to us having a massive, outsized impact on the entire natural world. What sparked this colossal shift? It came down to two things: tools and fire, and this rock is responsible for both. Flint is what our earliest ancestors made tools and weapons from, and because it sparks when struck, it’s thought they also used it to create fire. But, while flint may have kept us cozy and well-fed for millions of years, it could also be used to cause great harm and destruction. Flint, in other words, is the rock of ultimate potential. If it’s coming up for you now, it’s to let you know that something in your life right now has the potential to go huge, changing everything. Whether it’s for good or for bad is entirely up to you.
