DCL certifies record-breaking gemstones
Gulf Today
|August 22, 2025
Two of the world’s largest and most exceptional natural gemstones have made their first commercial appearance in the UAE, marking a historic milestone in the global gem industry.
The combined estimated value of gemstones exceeds $500 million (Dhs1.8 billion).
A Sri Lankan-born UAE resident is now the sole Guinness World Records holder for these extraordinary treasures — the world’s largest natural Black Star Sapphire, known as The Black Star of Eva, and the world’s largest natural Green Beryl Cat's Eye, called The Eye of Hope. Together, they are now jointly named “The Guinness Star and the Crescent.”
Officially certified by Guinness World Records in 2024 and further verified by Dubai Central Laboratory (DCL), these remarkable stones embody a rare combination of natural wonder, cultural heritage, and unmatched scarcity.
