Can Cancer Lagna wear Fluorite?
Fluorite (Rang Sphatik) is ruled by Ketu. Here's what Vedic astrology says for Cancer (Karka) rising.
Why
Ketu 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 Cancer Lagna there is no blanket rule — Fluorite can be very helpful during a Ketu Mahadasha or when Ketu sits in a good house, and unsettling otherwise. Because Fluorite 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.
Karka Lagna, ruled by the Moon, gives a protective, intuitive and deeply caring nature. Home and family are your foundation, and your moods follow the lunar tides.
