The definition of Unicorn can mean a very rare or valuable thing or person.  Something that is highly desirable but very difficult to obtain. The Greeks, Babylonians, and Persians gave the Unicorn the symbolism and meaning of mysticism, magic, health, and purity. The first known depiction of a Unicorn was found in the Lascaux Caves of modern-day France which dates back to 15,000 BCE. In Medieval times, it was said that Unicorn horns had magical healing properties and by drinking water out of a Unicorn horn would cure many diseases.
