Jet and tiger’s eye are associated with the Goat, and January is associated with t garnet. Saturn rules Capricorn.
Garnet
Garnets, most often associated wit January birth dates, are a symbol of constancy and friendship and are said to warn the wearer when danger is near. Thought to be especially useful in cases of inflammatory diseases, they are useful for treating rheumatism, arthritis and inflammation of the joints. They are also used in dealing with blood problems, acting as a general tonic, aiding self-confidence and are also said to improve the self drive. If worn on the left side of the body, garnets are believed to protect against depression as well as rheumatism and tradition suggest the keeping/wearing of garnets will bring business success new opportunities.

Jet
Considered to be a magical stone by the ancient Britain, Jet is a fossilized plant and not a stone at all. In early British history, Jet was frequently used to repel curses and the plague, when burnt. Jet was taken powdered in wine and water as a cure for toothache or hen teeth became loose. Also used to help in skin problems, prevent hysteria and help with many female disorders, it was said to counteract magic spells and protect the wearer from bites. Popular with Queen Victoria who wore it after the death of Prince Albert, Jet became synonymous in the latter part of he nineteenth century with women in mourning. Jet was also used in amulets to prevent hallucination.
In more recent times, the Jet has been used to treat migraine and is another substance that can be faked- plastic, rubber and glass have all recently passed as Jet.
Jet is particularly powerful if worn with the ruby.

Tiger’s eye
Tiger’s eye, another quartz, is a very useful stone for many Capricorns and also for those people who worry about their health, as it is said to guard against hypochondria and psychosomatic illness. Giving a feeling of confidence and inner strength, it is said to encourage creative pursuits, calm and balance.
Traditionally used for healing problems with the lower legs and feet, it was also considered useful for healing eye problems, probably due to the name of the stone rather than any special qualities. Known to be useful in digestive problems (especially those of a nervous origin), Tiger’s eye can be particularly useful to Capricorns who are stubborn and intransigent, as it is said to “ground” and balance.
Lucky and unlucky stones.
Many stones are considered to be lucky and since early times have been used as means of protection. For those people interested in astrology, having considered the stones mentioned for their signs, it is worth pointing out that some sources believe that some stones are to be avoided at all costs.
For example:
Cancer- avoid opal and lapis lazuli.
Other traditional suggestions include linking lucky stones with hours of the day and days of the week.
