The mineral commonly used to create fire by rubbing pieces together is flint. When flint is struck against steel or another hard material, it produces sparks that can ignite tinder. Other materials like quartz can also generate sparks, but flint is the traditional choice for fire-starting in survival situations.

Why can you start a fire by rubbing two sticks together but not two pieces of metal?

Rubbing two sticks together creates friction, which generates heat that can ignite the wood. Metals are better conductors of heat, so when two metal pieces rub together, the heat generated is quickly dissipated, making it difficult to generate enough heat to start a fire.

Rubbing things together creates heat. Enough heat, and stuff like wood catches fire. It's a way of starting fires that's almost always available, if you have the skill and some suitable pieces of wood. You don't need any special lighting equipment like matches, lighters, or flint and steel.
