Blackthorn: Tiger's Eye
Each of the Celtic trees correlates with a crystal or stone.
The Celtic month of Blackthorn, September 5 - October 2, is associated with:
Stone: Tiger's Eye
Tiger's eye comes in several colors, but generally it helps balance between extremes, supports practicality, and bridges the physical with spiritual. It vibrates to the number four and is especially beneficial for boosting Capricorn energy.
Blue tiger's eye - calms, releases stress, slows metabolism, cools an overactive sex drive.
Gold tiger's eye - helps with attention to detail, supports calm focus for tests and meetings, and assists the wearer in taking action from logic and reason, rather than reactive emotion.
Red tiger's eye - is useful for overcoming lethargy, provides motivation, speeds metabolism, increases low sex drive.
Tiger iron - is composed of contrasting bands of tiger's eye, red jasper and black hematite. It helps with creativity, motivation, personal power, focused will, mental clarity, strength and stamina. It is grounds and centers when the wearer is feeling spaced out, mild dissociation, or mild detachment from the world. It vibrates to number seven and supports Leo energy.
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.
