Hello List, I wouldn´t want to offer up my suppliers because I have spent a tremendous amount of time, money and stress to build and nurture my contacts. Granted, most are Moroccans, and most of them are offering material to everyone on the planet anyway.

I would not want my name published on a website that I provide consignments if I did that sort of thing. If I was a buyer and saw that dealer A had a specimen acquired from dealer B, I would just contact dealer B and see if they had any more and eliminate dealer A's mark up. Would anyone expect Marting to reveal his source for his new Martian Meteorite? Or Adam for NWA 5000? I would bet that they will not reveal their planetary sources any quicker than I will. Provenance, in my opinion, exists where old labels accompany the specimen, or it came from a museum or famous old collector of yesteryear.
