Unstealable Jewel (called Intangible Treasure on the Revival disc and Xenogears Vinyl - SHINKAKU -, called Shards Calling One Another in the in-game jukebox in the Snowfield Hideout, sometimes unofficially referred to as The Treasure Which Cannot Be Stolen) is Disc 1, Track 16 on the Xenogears Original Soundtrack, track 17 on the Xenogears Original Soundtrack Revival Disc -the first and the last-, and Track 4 of the A-Side of the first disc of Xenogears Vinyl - SHINKAKU -.
A vocal remix of the track, Memories Left Behind (Revival Version), was made for the Revival disc, and was also performed at the Xenogears 20th Anniversary Concert -The Beginning and the End-. The track is one of the tracks playable in the Nortune jukebox, under the option 'Requiem'.
The track plays as the music in the following cutscenes:
- The lights come on in the Nisan Mausoleum, revealing Andvari.
- Citan talks with Yui before leaving for Solaris.
- Lacan speaks with Krelian about getting more paint and Krelian's newfound interest in nanomachines (flashback).
- Elly brings Fei into her home in Solaris. (The music continues as the area theme until Elly's father returns, except for when Elly tells Fei about her biological mother.)
- Elly's mother tells Elly that she should live her life as she chooses (flashback). (The music continues as the area and cutscene theme until the flashback ends.)
- Elly successfully attempts to reawaken Fei (who was at the time controlled by Id) on the deck of the Yggdrasil III.
- Fei and Elly both independently narrate how they had dreams of past lives, especially of Lacan painting Sophia's portrait.
- Fei and Elly reunite on top of Taura's house.
- Emeralda says that she wants to go with Elly to the Mass-driver facility.
- Krelian tells Lacan that he's studying from Kim's research journal (flashback).
- Ramsus overcomes his feelings of low-self-esteem, and Fei states that he wishes to have a friendly fight with him after the end.
- Emeralda turns into her older form in the ruins of Zeboim. (The music continues as the area theme until the Gear-accessible region is reentered.)
- Fei and Elly reunite after Urobolus is defeated.

Album notes[edit]
- Album notes written by Yasunori Mitsuda. No official translation exists.
いつも印象的なシーンで掛かっていた楽曲なので、 それぞ れのシーンが記憶に残っていることと思います。 原曲より少 しだけ寂しい感じのアレンジが施されていますが、全体のイ メージは優しく暖かく、そしてどこか懐かしい雰囲気は原曲 のままかと思います。 個人的には中盤のストリングスのトレモ ロ演奏をしている部分からメインテーマに転調して戻ってく るところを聞くと、ふわっと情景が広がっていき、とても心地 がよいです。

Trivia[edit]
- 'Radical Dreamers ~Unstealable Jewel~' from the music of Chrono Cross (which was also composed by Mitsuda) has this track's title as part of its own. (The pieces are otherwise unrelated.)
- For unknown reasons, the Japanese name of this track as seen in the in-game jukebox is different from the name as seen on the Xenogears Original Soundtrack and other out-of-game sources. (This is common for the English translations, but not for the original Japanese.)
