Can Cancer Lagna wear Turquoise?

Why
For Cancer (Karka) Ascendant, Jupiter rules the 6th house (enemies, debts, disease and competition) and the 9th house (fortune, dharma, father and higher learning). This is a neutral lordship — Turquoise can be used for its specific themes (enemies, debts, disease and competition), ideally for a defined purpose or period.
