If you want to get your hands on the Neon Parasol, you’re going to have to put in a fairly hefty amount of work before you have the chance.

While most of the items available from the two city-state Gemstone Vendors are crafting materials, each of the two has their own specific items that can be purchased for Bicolor Gemstones. 

If you want to get the Neon Parasol, go to Solution Nine and head to the Nexus Arcade. Here, talk to Beryl (X:8.4, Y:14.0). You’ll be able to purchase the Neon Parasol for 500 Gemstones.
