Black Tourmaline (Kala Tourmaline) is ruled by Rahu. Here's what Vedic astrology says for Capricorn (Makara) rising.
Why
Rahu is a shadow planet and owns no sign, so it acts according to the house it occupies and the lord of that sign in your personal chart. For Capricorn Lagna there is no blanket rule — Black Tourmaline can be very helpful during a Rahu Mahadasha or when Rahu sits in a good house, and unsettling otherwise. Because Black Tourmaline is a modern healing crystal rather than a Jyotish ratna, keeping it in your space (not worn as a ring) is a gentler way to use it.
