Summary:  Several $*$-algebras $\cal A$ carry with them unbounded $C^*$-seminorms in the s ense that they are $C^*$-seminorms defined on $*$-subalgebras. Unbounded operator representations of $\cal A$ are constructed from such unbound ed $C^*$-seminorms and they are investigated. The notions of spectrality and sta bility of unbounded $C^*$-seminorms are defined and studied.
