    "That's the Sun Keep you see on the southern continent. A Sun Stone, once the source of this world's power, was kept there. But when we began using our new energy source, it was sealed up just like the north palace. They claim we don't need the energy of this tired, old planet." 
    — Young Man in Kajar

The Sun Stone is a Key Item in Chrono Trigger. The stone requires constant exposure to sunlight for several million years before storing enough to generate power. When the stone dims from the 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. 

> Sun and Moon https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Moon_Stone

After defeating the Son of the Sun in the Sun Temple, Crono and his friends store it in the Sun Shrine, northeast of the Tyranno Lair in Prehistory. The time-travelers hop through time to check on the mythic rock's progress. 

https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Son_of_the_Sun
Son of Sun is a boss that appears in Chrono Trigger. It can be fought in the Sun Palace in the year 2300 AD.

The five lights that surround it are called Prominence
> one eye
> pentagram fire

Bringing the stone to Lucca's House, if Lucca is not present when the stone is plucked from the Pedestal in the Future, she creates the Wondershot (her best gun) from it. Her father, 
> Taban, creates the Sunglasses at this time also.
> Taban strikes the Stone to produce fireworks.

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. During the Moonlight Parade, Taban strikes the stone with a mallet to produce fireworks for the festival-goers. 


Lucca is the daughter of  blackmith, and inventor, a Tubal Cain allusion. Tier ancestor, Banta, is shown to be a blacksmith later on.
https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Taban_Ashtear
Taban Ashtear is an inventor and the father of Lucca in Chrono Trigger. 

Taban also creates four pieces of equipment for Lucca – Taban's Vest, Taban's Suit, Taban's Helm, and 
> Sunglasses (illumination) 

Because Taban's name is an anagram of "Banta", and the two are both handymen, it is suggested that they are distant relatives.

https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Banta
Banta is a blacksmith living in Truce during the Middle Ages. He is the craftsman who makes Leene's Bell, which is gifted to the queen by the king shortly after the end of the Fiend War, as a sign of his love for her.

From the clues given in meeting Banta, it can be inferred that he is the ancestor of both Taban Ashtear and Lucca. His name, Banta, is an anagram (both in Japanese and English) of Taban.
