We hope everybody has stayed safe and healthy throughout this past year.  It certainly has been a time like no other in our lifetimes.  Our hearts and thoughts go out to all those who are or had a loved one afflicted with the virus.  Now that vaccines have started to be administered (a little over 95 million doses at time of writing), we all look forward to getting back to our routines and look forward to a healthy and properous future.

We would like to thank everybody that participated in our "Virtual Tucson" this year.  It was a very busy 10 days and hope that everyone enjoyed the showings from our three offices as much as we did.  I hope that our "Virtual" contact does not go away completely but it will never replace the person to person meetings that we have with all of you each and every year.  We certainly look forward to seeing you in person this year at sometime, somewhere on the Ball or at latest during next Tucson.

We are now beginning what has become a year long process to re-supply, prepare, cut and grade the next batch of rare stones.  Some will be added to the website as they become available and some will not be ready until "showtime" next Tucson.  As always, please let us know your specific requests and we will do the best to source for you when possible.

Welcome to the new Coast to Coast website!  We have the same great content with a new look and new features.
*Within the inventory listings, the view for each species now shows thumbnail displays with a larger photo than our old website.  Clicking on a thumbnail  will give expanded information and clicking on the photo again will isolate the picture.
 
*We have added a “Gemstone Info” link under the Glossary tab that will give gemological and other pertinent data on the gems that we supply.  This list will be added to over time.  If you have a particular gem that you would like to have listed, feel free to contact us.

*Please sign up for our Newsletter (three or four per year) below to keep up with us!

*The website is now also mobile friendly on your tablets and phones.

By registering on the website through the Login Page (icon to the right of “Contact Us” in the header) and then logging in, you can track current or past orders, change your password, etc.

All of us at Coast to Coast would like to thank you for visiting our upgraded site and appreciate your business.
