Jhdts. für kunsthandwerkliche Objekte und Gegenstände genutzt und erlangte aufgrund seiner positiven Eigenschaften bei der Verarbeitung in ganz Europa Verbreitung. Außerdem wird dem Serpentin eine heilende Wirkung nachgesagt. Er soll Aggressivität mindern, beruhigend bei Nervosität, Stress und Anspannung wirken. Der Serpentin wurde auch als "Schutzstein gegen das Böse" angesehen. Eine ähnliche Schraubflasche befindet sich in den Beständen des KHM - Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien (Inv.-Nr. Kunstkammer, 4383, Raum XXIVa/b/c).

During the Baroque era in the 17th and 18th century, Zöblitz serpentinite was used for handcrafted objects and artefacts, becoming widespread throughout Europe by virtue of its positive properties during processing. Furthermore, serpentinite is said to have healing powers. It allegedly reduces aggression and has a soothing effect on nervousness, stress and tension. Serpentinite is also regarded as a protective stone against the forces of evil. A similar screw flask can be found in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien (inv. no. Kunstkammer, 4383, room XXIVa/b/c).
