The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Key Item]] in {{CT}}. The stone requires constant exposure to sunlight for several million years before storing enough to generate power. When the stone dims from use or lack of sunlight, it is known as [[Moon Stone]]. Able to store solar energy within its spherical surface, it releases beams of light when struck, as demonstrated by [[Taban]] during the [[Moonlight Parade]] in [[Leene Square]]. In an optional quest, this item is obtained by leaving Moon Stone in the [[Sun Shrine]] from [[Prehistory]] to the [[Future]]. | The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Key Item]] in {{CT}}.

Serving as the foremost source of elemental energy for the sorcerers of Zeal, the Sun Stone is used to craft powerful defensive armors such as [[Red Plate]] and [[Blue Vest]], and powerful weapons, such as the [[Swallow]].

It is apparent that the people of Zeal once owed their well-being to the planet and her natural gifts; however, with the advent of the Mammon Machine, elemental energy usage was forbidden and the items created with it were sealed in the [[North Palace]]. After [[Prehistory|65000000 years]], the Sun Stone dims, leading to such statements as "we do not need the energy of this tired, old planet," from the citizens of [[Enhasa]] and [[Kajar]]. Technologies such as the [[Land Bridge]]s and [[Skyway]]s were fueled by the stone, and what appear to be [[Dreamstone]] glyphs. | ||

The | During the [[Present]], the [[Porre Mayor]] steals the stone from the [[Sun Shrine]]. Half-charged, Crono locates the relic from the rays of sparkling light emitting from the Manor in [[Porre]]. The selfish man lies about stealing the stone and refuses to hand it over. Traveling backwards in time to convince his ancestors to instill honesty in their children, Crono returns to the Porre Mayor, now a generous man, and receives the stone. [[Spiced Jerky]] is necessary for completing this task. If Crono already gave the man's ancestor the Jerky, he will already be generous and will simply hand over the stone when questioned. | ||

If the [[Rainbow Shell]] is recovered from [[Giant's Claw]] and transported to [[Guardia Castle]], [[Melchior]] creates [[Rainbow]] ([[Crono]]'s best [[katana]]) and [[PrismSpecs]] (an [[accessory]] that maximizes attack) from an alloy of the shell and the stone.

Because Lucca opens an orphanage in the same location, and lives with Taban and [[Lara Ashtear|her mother]], it is assumed agents from Porre stole the stone while burning the home in search of the [[Robo|Prometheus Circuit]]. | ||
