Sparks may fly from it (5)

I believe the answer is:

flint

(Other definitions for flint that I've seen before include "castle in Wales" , "Rock occurring in chalk" , "Hard stone used to strike sparks" , "Hard kind of stone -- Welsh town on the Dee estuary" , "Hard grey rock" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
