    It was my personal experience, a sales person mis-identified a
    gemstone in a piece that my wife was looking at in the fine jewelry
    boutique at Nordstrom's. 

    We knew it was a tourmaline. Sales person called it a ruby. It was
    not a Yurman piece. 

    Perhaps I am cynical, but I was not surprised that the sales person
    did not know the difference.
