Blue squamosa

I have a true blue squamosa clam. There are many people here posting pics of so-called blue squamosas which have some blue in it or a slight shade of blue. Is there any1 here with a true blue squamosa? i mean really blue even under 10k? And how much are they worth? thanks

Its actually a compliment that u want to see shells to prove its a squammy. Ill get a pic of the shell for u. I've been in the hobby and seen more clams than most people on this site. Trust me its a squamosa. I know the difference .
