You have an eight string banjo shaped ukulele with a mother of pearl star is it rare?
If it has 8 strings, why do you think it is a Ukulele? Typically an ukulele only has 4 strings. It could be doubled up, they do have 8 string ukuleles. These are typically called a banjolele. Without a lot more information, it would be difficult to value. Look for a maker's name inside the body, or on the head. A good reference would be a forum on the net that works with stringed instruments. And you could browse the TikiKing database for ukulele makers and see if one is pictured.
