| “ | No, this won't hurt you, but it's rather hot. It emits a bigger glow than your average artifact, but that is to be expected with a nature like fire. - Inventory description, v1.30013 - 1.4005 |

| “ | Born in the 'Burner' anomaly. This artifact forms in areas of high thermal activity. Produces powerful infra-red emissions, which intensify metabolic processes, healing wounds before its bearer's very eyes. As this artifact is very rare, it is extremely valuable. Emits radiation. - v1.4007 |

Overview
- v1.30013 - 1.4005:
- May be found in the wild in the Generators level at the second anomaly field as one of its major spawn components (50% of spawns)
- Occasionally found upon dead NPCs.
- v1.4005:
- Loses any bulletproofing that it had up to v1.4002, becomes less useful to the player, but sells for 18000.
- v1.4007:
- Gets assigned a parent anomaly.
- Property set is reworked to be a 'bleed control' artifact.
- Exceptionally difficult to spawn from Burners...
Notes
- v1.30013 - 1.4005:
- Very useful (but progressively less so as the game evolved) for its positive properties and the endurance 'hit' may usually be compensated for.
- v1.4007:
- A mid to higher-level bleeding control artifact.
- By the time the player finds an instance of this artifact, they may well have superior bleed control built into their suit.
Trivia
- v1.30013 - 1.4005:
- A synthetic artifact in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Lost Alpha.
- Manufactured by the player using an Artifact Merger to combine Fireball, Night Star and Stone Flower precursors.
- Generally easier to source than the more superior Rock artifact due to the relatively common abundance of its components.
- v1.4007:
- Instead of being an artifact that the player may synthesize, it now becomes a required ingredient in the artifact recipe for the Gold beads artifact.
