Gemstones for Capricorn

Capricorn ~ December 22 - January 19

Capricorn characteristics: ambitious, organizer, planner, serious, responsible, disciplined, practical, determined, self-sufficient, reliable.

Black Onyx increases confidence in Capricorns and helps realize material goals. Onyx fosters balance, structure, a sense of control, and supports strong self-discipline.

Garnet gives a needed sense of lightness and brightness for heavy-minded Capricorn. It encourages personal relationships, in business or in romance. Garnet also encourages loyalty and commitment in relationships and can inspire love and love and passion in romantically cautious Capricorn.

Carnelian promotes passion, warmth, and aids in decision-making.



Flourite dissolves fixed thought patterns, and is good for joints and bones.




Turquoise prevents martyred attitude and dissolves self-sabotage.





Snowflake Obsidian promotes courage and joy of life.

New! Fibromyalgia Quartz Crystal, Tourmalinated Quartz Necklace

This necklace was created with fibromyalgia sufferers in mind. Fibromyalgia "is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as fatigue and multiple tender points — places on your body where slight pressure causes pain." - Mayo Clinic Staff.

These stones were specifically chosen to help with this condition:

*Quartz Crystal is considered a master healer. It is said to stimulates the immune system, brings the body into balance and helps relieve pain.

*Tourmalinated Quartz carries the properties of purification, and recovery from negative influences.

24kt White Gold are used as spacers. The necklace measures 19" in length and closes easily and securely with a sterling silver hook clasp.

Gemstones are a holistic tool and can assist the wearer in their healing process but I also highly recommend seeking the advice of a medical doctor as well as other holistic health practitioners.

Spotlight: Smoky Quartz

Smoky quartz is a brown transparent quartz, sometimes incorrectly known as smoky topaz.

Smoky Quartz is a protection stone. It is grounding, stabilizing and has a strong link with the earth, promoting concern for the environment. Smoky Quartz is nature's stone of endurance and a superb antidote to stress. It is excellent for elevating moods, overcoming negative emotions, and relieving depression. Smoky Quartz will give you an extra boost and promotes pride and joy in living. It helps tolerate difficult times, transforming negative emotions into positive energies. Smoky quartz also gently cleanses clutter of the mind to bring focus to task as well as meditation.
