They are large and in general dull if they are what I am thinking of
I remember a post of several people who bought these flints, it seems like they ran the gamete of usable and not so much.
Here is a discussion thread about them;

I got between 30 and 40 flints, most were musket size with some carbine size mixed in. About 1/3 were amber, the rest black. Only 5 or 6 were unusable and I gave those to friends.
The rest I trimmed up on a tile saw to fit my locks. It was worth it to me!
