The term for the "unique arclike pattern" is called a conchoidal fracture. Please see the link below for more information.
A flint rock is a hard, sedimentary rock composed of silica that is known for its ability to produce sparks when struck with steel, making it useful for starting fires. It is typically gray or black in color and has a sharp-edged conchoidal fracture pattern.
Alibates chert is a type of flint found in the Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument in Texas. It is a colorful and durable type of chert that was used by Native Americans for thousands of years to make tools and weapons. The unique and striking colors of Alibates chert make it a prized material for both archaeological and decorative purposes.
Quartz and flint are types of white rocks that can produce sparks when struck against steel. This is due to their hardness and ability to break into sharp fragments when subjected to force.
Flint is basically silica, SiO2, and most people consider that to be a silciate. It is contaminated with traces of minerals. Flint actually has a fingerprint so that given a sample using the correct chemical and spectroscopic methods you can tell where it came from.
Flint is a chemical sedimentary rock formed from the precipitation of silica rich solutions in layers of marine sediments.
Conchoidal fracture pattern, characterized by smooth, curved surfaces with sharp edges. This distinctive pattern is a result of the way these materials break along flat planes of weakness.
You mine gravel, sometimes flint is dropped when you break a block of gravel.
To effectively search for and find flint in the wild, look for areas with exposed rock surfaces, such as riverbeds, cliffs, or gravel bars. Flint is often found in sedimentary rock formations. Keep an eye out for smooth, glass-like rocks with a conchoidal fracture pattern, which is characteristic of flint. Use a rock hammer or other tools to carefully break open rocks to reveal potential flint deposits. Be cautious and respectful of the environment while searching for flint.
Recently in the 0.3.3 Alpha, Mojang added the ability to receive Flint from breaking Gravel. It is also possible to make Flint and Steel.

Flint is a common name for a form of sedimentary rock called chert, formed from microscopic siliceous (essentially quartz) skeletons of radiolarians. As such the hardness of chert is 7, which is slighly harder than glass and considerably harder than steel. If it will scratch glass it is likely to be flint. Flint is often mistaken for limestone or marble, which is much softer and will not scratch glass.
