Makar Rashi (Capricorn) — Gemstone, Rudraksha & Bracelet

Makar Rashi Ratna (Capricorn): Neelam (Blue Sapphire), Upratna and How to Choose

The rashi ratna for Makar Rashi (Capricorn) is traditionally Neelam (Blue Sapphire), ruled by Saturn (Shani). This is the association given in Vedic (jyotish) tradition. "Rashi" here means your Moon sign (Chandra rashi), which can differ from the sun sign given by your birth date.

Customs differ between families and astrologers. Follow the instructions you are given for your own chart.

Upratna (substitute) options

Amethyst (Jamunia) and iolite (Neeli) are the upratna most often named for Neelam. This collection has 17 amethysts and 5 iolites in stock. An upratna is a traditional alternative, usually chosen for budget; it is not treated as equal to the main ratna.

How to choose

• Confirm the chart first. Tradition picks a stone from your whole kundli, not the rashi alone. Try the free Gemstone Calculator or book an astrologer consultation (₹499, adjusted against a purchase).
• Weight is set in ratti, as general guidance only. Neelam is the stone astrologers are most careful about. Common advice is about 3 ratti or more, and many suggest a short trial before you wear it long-term. Heavier is not automatically better. Use the carat to ratti converter to read listings, which show both units.
• Read the report. Every order ships with a GemsMantra Authenticity Report whose number you can check on the Check Certificate page. GemsMantra works with leading labs including GIA, IGI, GRS and GJEPC's IIGJ. Each stone's listing names the lab that issued its report and the report number. A few listings disclose "Indication of Thermal Enhancement" (heat treatment). Check the treatment field so you know what you are paying for.
• Know the return terms. Returns are for items that arrive damaged, defective or incorrect (claims within 7 days of delivery, with an unboxing video). If a qualifying lab proves a stone synthetic, the guarantee gives a full refund with no time limit.
