It can be found in [[Giant's Claw]] in [[Middle Ages]] after the defeat of the [[Rust Tyranno]]. Due to its size and weight, however, it cannot actually be lifted by the party (not even [[Robo]] is able to lift it), and is thus never actually added to the inventory. It is, however, carried back to [[Guardia Castle]] by the King's [[Guardia Knight|knights]] as a form of repayment for all the party has done to assist them (namely, rescuing [[Queen Leene]] and helping thwart the [[Fiend|Mystic]] incursion at [[Zenan Bridge]]).

The | The Rainbow Shell is seemingly the fossil of an ancient, huge sea creature, compressed and refined by the unreal powers of [[Lavos]]'s crashing into the planet. The result of this refinement is an incredibly strong and powerful mineral, imbued with elemental abilities and the subject of much myth and legend. It was apparently in the possession of the [[Reptite]]s, whose [[Tyranno Lair]] was crushed by Lavos; the shell subsequently was reduced to a place of residence far below the planet's crust. It may have been visited by citizens of [[Zeal]], or legends of it were passed through generations by the [[Ioka]]ns or [[Larubans]]; regardless, accounts of its power and beauty appear in Zeal's tomes, and even filter into the treasure hunting cliques of [[Middle Ages]], evident in [[Toma]]'s own desire to hunt the shell and the [[Dorino]] [[Mayor's Manor|Elder's]] interest in it. Toma eventually located it in the [[Giant's Claw]], which is the [[Tyranno Lair]]'s second incarnation as an island that briefly appears in the Middle Ages. He was unable to procure the shell from its resting place, but in the [[Keystone Dimension|Keystone Timelines]], he informed [[Crono]] and the heroes of time of its location, after they poured a [[Toma's Spirits|bottle of booze]] on his [[West Cape|grave]]. It was subsequently recovered by knights of the [[Kingdom of Guardia]], where it lay in its treasury for four hundred years, planned to be unveiled at the [[Moonlight Parade]].

The Rainbow Shell | The acquisition of the Rainbow Shell had a temporarily negative effect on the royal family, as [[Yakra XIII]] was able to forge documents detailing a transaction that supposedly entailed [[King Guardia XXXIII]]'s selling the heirloom to a trader. The plot was foiled when a piece of the Rainbow Shell was taken from its resting place in the treasury, which was overrun by Yakra's henchmen. [[Marle]] finds a letter attached to the Rainbow Shell in the Present from Queen Leene, saying that family is permanent. The contents implied that at some point in her life she figured out that Marle was her descendant. She then removes a shard of the shell and brings it to the King's Trial. | ||
This [[Prism Shard]] proved the King's innocence. Soon after, [[Melchior]], probably the only person capable of doing so, assisted the party in creating new weapons and items for the party from the shell, including the [[Rainbow]], [[Prism Dress]], and [[Prism Helm]]. The Rainbow Shell's fate afterward is unknown, perhaps falling victim to the [[Fall of Guardia]] and being stolen by [[Porre]]. | |||
