The Algeiba Star is named after one of the brightest stars in the sky from the constellation of Leo, which is also known as the Gamma Leonis. The star is said to have been named from Al-Jabbah, meaning “the forehead”, which marks the position of the star in the formation of the lion’s mane. The Algeiba Star is rich with a captivating yellow hue, graded at the highest levels of Fancy grading for yellow diamonds. For a diamond that weighs over 130 carats to be graded Fancy Vivid, is astonishing. Throughout history, there have only been a handful of yellow diamonds over one hundred carats, placing The Algeiba Star among the rarest of gems.
