Stone: Opal

Opal induces psychic visions, amplifies thoughts and feelings, releases inhibitions, facilitates loyalty, encourages spontaneity, and brings things to the surface for transformation. It vibrates to the number eight, and is especially helpful for Scorpio, Cancer, Libra, and Pisces.

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.
