Aspen: Azurite
Each of the Celtic trees correlates with a crystal or stone.
The Celtic day of Aspen, the day before the autumnal equinox, is associated with:
Stone: azurite
Azurite is often called the “stone of heaven.” It is said to support psychic power, boost creativity, and enhance compassion and self-confidence. It rids negativity, obstacles, and indecision. It vibrates to the number one and pairs well with Sagittarius energy.
Azurite malachite - a combination of the properties of azurite plus malachite's properties of harmony, enlightened leadership, protection, chakra clearing and activation, and spiritual attunement. This powerful combination helps with cyclic development, core emotional and mental patterning, insight and vision. It vibrates to the number one and partners with Capricorn and Sagittarius energies.
If you're feeling drawn to azurite, you may find yourself needing a creative outlet or seeking creative or spiritual inspiration. It would be nice to keep in your pocket while shopping in an art supply store, trying a new form of meditation, or while taking an autumnal walk among the quaking aspen trees in your neighborhood.
Do what lights you up,

Please note: Some people start the tree calendar with Birch in January, which follows the solar calendar. However, I learned them in an older tradition, which aligns with the 13-month lunar calendar. It's up to you to discern what feels right for you, of course.
