The symbol

Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn. Its glyph traces a sea-goat, an unusual hybrid creature with the upper body of a mountain goat and the tail of a fish, descended from the Sumerian deity Enki and the Greek god Pan. Born between December 22 and January 19, Capricorn opens at the winter solstice, the longest night, when the sun begins its slow return. Across traditions Capricorn has been associated with discipline, ambition, the patient climb, and the willingness to build something that lasts.

About this stone

Sapphire is the blue variety of corundum, aluminum oxide colored by trace iron and titanium in just the proportions needed to produce velvet blue. The historical sources of fine sapphire are Kashmir, Burma, and Sri Lanka, the last of which has produced gems continuously for over 2,500 years. Most blue sapphire on the market today is heat-treated, an industry-standard treatment performed since at least the early twentieth century that deepens and stabilizes color. The stone is 9 on the Mohs scale, the second hardest gem mineral after diamond, and extremely durable. Curated by a certified gemologist.

Care and wear

Sapphire is among the hardest gem materials and durable for any wear. Clean with mild soap, warm water, or with ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
