Increasingly Common means that there are some outside of the imperial central
house now.
They are rare. "Privately owned" means that the noble houses can afford to "own"
them.
Basically, the words was such so that a narrator could allow a player group to
have one, or have access to one, without bending things too much.
As far as taking them outside the Glowline, I think such would generally be prohibited. They are severly diminished by being subjected to the Lunar Cycles there, and who would risk such a valuable commodity (besides player characters, I mean)?
