The '''Rainbow Shell''' is found via [[foraging]] at [[The Beach]] in the Summer. It may also spawn on the [[Farm Maps#Beach|Beach Farm]] during any season or in [[The Mines]] after activating the [[The Mines#Shrine of Challenge|Shrine of Challenge]] or during the [[Quests#Danger In The Deep|Danger In The Deep]] quest. It may also be sent in the mail as a gift from [[Demetrius]] or received as a gift from [[Jas]], [[Vincent]] or [[Leo]] at the [[Feast of the Winter Star]].

It can also be gifted by a [[Animals#Pets|pet]] turtle with max [[Animals#Friendship|friendship]]. It may also randomly appear at the [[Traveling Cart]] for {{tprice|300}}.
