Capricorn Birthstones: Which Stones and Talismans Suit You
Capricorn is stubborn and reserved, so a talisman helps soften the dryness: it lets warmth in, eases what you demand of yourself and keeps you from bending under your goals.
Stones for Capricorn
Onyx - the stone of Capricorn: staying power, discipline and cover on the long road to a goal
Garnet - warms you and adds strength for stubborn work
Smoky Quartz - takes off the heaviness and the demands you make of yourself, grounds anxiety
Jet - shields you and helps you let the past go
Black Tourmaline - holds your boundaries and turns aside what others send your way
How to choose and wear it
Capricorn carries a heavy load of goals, and the stone here is about warmth and support. Smoky quartz and jet when your own demands knock you off your feet, garnet when work has left you cold. Keep onyx for staying power and black tourmaline for boundaries. Wear it close and unnoticed, a plain signet ring or a dark stone under the cuff. It will not move the mountain for you. It gives you something to lean on: you touch the onyx and remember that this is a long road and you are allowed some warmth.
