The dragon is considered a lucky charm that brings prosperity and blessed rain.
Selenite was already known to the Romans and was used as a window pane instead of glass, as Glass could not yet be made flat and transparent at that time. In the encyclopaedia "Naturalis historia", Pliny the Elder (23 - 79) described the mining and use of selenite. The Romans called the mineral "lapis specularis", i.e. "mirror stone". The name selenite is derived from the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene.
The animal engravings are varnished to protect them from dust and scratches.
