Famous Rubies -The DeLong Star Ruby - By: Carol Speake, 2009-09-10

The DeLong Ruby has an interesting history. It was originally purchased by Martin Leo Ehrmann in the 1930s. Not long after, in 1937, he sold the rare ruby to a Mrs. Edith Hagging de Long for a price tag of $21,400. Mrs DeLong then donated it to the American Museum of Natural History in the same year.
