We propose a class of models, in which stable gravastar with large surface redshift becomes a solution. In recent decades, gravastars have become a plausible substitute for black holes. Researchers have explored stable gravastar models in various alternative gravity theories, in addition to the conventional framework of general relativity. In this paper, we present a stellar model within the framework of Einstein's gravity with two scalar fields, in accordance with the conjecture proposed by Mazur and Mottola [Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. \textbf{101} (2004), 9545-9550]. In the model, the two scalar fields become non-dynamical by imposing constraints in order to avoid ghosts. The gravastar comprises two distinct regions, namely: (a) the interior region and (b) the exterior region. We assume the interior region consists of the de Sitter spacetime, and the exterior region is the Schwarzschild one. The two regions are connected with each other by the shell region. On the shell, we assume that the metric is given by a polynomial function of the radial coordinate $r$. The function has six constants. These constants are fixed by the smooth junction conditions, i.e., the interior region with the interior layer of the shell and the exterior region with the exterior layer of the shell. From these boundary conditions, we are able to write the coefficients of the scalar fields in terms of the interior radius and exterior radius. To clarify the philosophy of this study, we also give two examples of spacetimes that asymptote as the de Sitter spacetime for small $r$ and as the Schwarzschild spacetime for large $r$. Exploration is focused on the physical attribute of the shell region, specifically, its proper length.

  1. Observational signatures of negative mass wormholes through their shadows

    gr-qc 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    Positive/negative-mass binaries would emit gravitational waves with decreasing frequency and amplitude, and a negative-mass wormhole would cast an asymmetric shadow with richer photon-ring substructure than a black hole.

  2. Mass--radius relations, surface redshift, and echo time of neutron-star--wormhole system with chaotic magnetic field and anisotropic matter

    gr-qc 2025-12 reject novelty 5.0

    Anisotropic magnetized neutron-star–wormhole models predict ultracompact objects with masses above 8 solar masses, surface redshifts above 1.5, and echo times of order 10^-2–10^-1 ms.

  3. Observational signatures of negative mass wormholes through their shadows

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Numerical simulations of negative mass wormholes reveal distinct photon ring substructures in their shadows compared to Schwarzschild black holes and Simpson-Visser wormholes.

  4. May Negative Mass Objects exist in the sky?

    gr-qc 2026-02 reject novelty 4.0

    Negative-mass objects are conjectured to arise from fluid-plus-cosmological-constant systems and are realized in reverse-engineered scalar and Gauss-Bonnet models, but the standard-gravity derivation contains a sign error.
