Native Americans revered the stone for wand-making and would often mend selenite with tourmalines, zincites and blue apatites for energy work. Chinese massage therapists or acupressure therapists would make their tools out of this stone so that the negative energies leaving the patient’s body would not rub off onto the healer.
