RusGems is awesome. I've switched to using them a lot, along with Dr Bulatov whenever I see him in Tucson, and Djeva Co. Creative Gems...both Grady and Phyllis passed away
Creative Gems is still in business. I think other members of the family are managing it now.
Confirmed, material received from Creative within the last two weeks. Does anyone know if Rusgems exhibits at Tucson? Are they wholesale only or also at general public shows there?

They have a booth at JOGS every year. They also keep all kinds of special goodies behind the desk too, like synthetic vanadium chrysoberyl, Czochralski blue sapphire and hydrothermal blue sapphire, synthetic cobalt forsterite ("tanzanion"), and a very radioactive red-pink spinel.
I'll second the recommendation for RusGems. I went to their booth at JOGS this year and picked up a couple boules of lab padparadscha sapphire. And am currently buying some hydrothermal emerald from them.
