The classical rashi ratna for Makara is Blue Sapphire (नीलम), the gemstone of its ruling planet Saturn. Here is the metal, finger, day and mantra — plus the honest, chart-first caveat.
Makara / Capricorn is ruled by Saturn (शनि). Its life-stone is Blue Sapphire (नीलम) — a deep blue stone worn for discipline, patience and steady, long-term results. Set it in silver or panchdhatu and wear it on the middle finger.

Read this before buying a stone. The moon-sign ratna above is the common, classical answer to “which gemstone for my rashi”. But the gemstone that is genuinely right for you depends on your whole birth chart — your lagna (ascendant) lord and which planets are functional benefics. A stone that helps one chart can unsettle another. Generate your free kundli first, and consult before wearing a strong stone (especially Blue Sapphire or Diamond) long-term.
Your ascendant lord decides the right gemstone — not the moon sign alone. Generate your free janam kundli to check before you wear any stone.

The classical rashi ratna for Makara is Blue Sapphire (नीलम), because Makara is ruled by Saturn. It is worn for discipline, patience and steady, long-term results. Set in silver or panchdhatu and worn on the middle finger.
In Vedic astrology a sign's gemstone is the stone of its ruling planet. Makara is ruled by Saturn, and Saturn's gemstone is Blue Sapphire (नीलम). Wearing it is said to strengthen that planet's good results.
Traditionally Blue Sapphire is worn on the middle finger in silver or panchdhatu, first put on during the hora of Saturn on Saturday after energising it with "Om Shanaye Namah".
Not necessarily. The moon-sign stone is a good general guide, but the truly correct gemstone comes from your full birth chart — your lagna (ascendant) lord and functional benefics. Generate your free kundli before wearing any stone long-term.
