Lucky gemstone for Makar (Capricorn)

Makar is ruled by Saturn (Shani), so its primary gemstone is Blue Sapphire. In Vedic tradition, Neelam is believed to bring focus, discipline, and sudden progress, and to ease the effects of Shani. Supportive stones for Capricorn include Emerald (Mercury) and Opal/Diamond (Venus), as these planets are friendly to Saturn. Ruby (Sun), Pearl (Moon), and Red Coral (Mars) are generally avoided unless your chart specifically calls for them.

How to wear it

Blue Sapphire is traditionally worn on the middle finger of the right hand, set in silver or panchdhatu, on a Saturday morning, after chanting "Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah". Because of its strength, a trial period is often advised. You can explore certified options in our Blue Sapphire (Neelam) collection.
