The Horn of Quintus was included in TDS--as a recording with piano accompaniment on a Viktrola in Wieldstrom.:)

That melancholy music... :( At the first I thought it was a flute playing

I do, since recently. But sometimes it's nice to see what other people think about a subject.
Thief Wikia is great, though. Now I'm DromEding, I use it to get ideas. You have no idea how much it helps. :)

The Burrick's Heart Ruby is a raw, uncut, opaque hunk of ruby, interrupted with jagged gray stone, resembling an organic heart.
The Mystic's Heart doesn't resemble ruby in the least, but the Burrick's Heart Ruby does.
As with the Golden Bones, the Mytsic's Heart and Soul are Hammerite or Hammerite-associated artifacts, and "male".
The Burrick's Heart Ruby is "female".
The Mystic's Heart and Soul have no malice connected with them and the only danger comes from the traps guarding them.
The Burrick's Heart Ruby can ensnare the mind of whomever gazes upon her, causing them to waste away for lack of food, drink, living...
Well... Shame on me, on my screen the Mystic's Heart appears quite red...
Anyway things have changed a lot in T3 (I mean the hammer's church style, their social ties: they seem far more legal now, the pagan have gained human supporters since T2, ...)
That's why I consider they could have reused the Heart for the Ruby Heart Artifact.
I also thought of the supernatural properties of the Burrick's Heart Ruby, I concluded that if they were the same gem, the Heart could have been "asleeped" during his years-long trip too the bonehoard. All Artifacts aren't as "awoken" as the Eye, and some situations cane awake them more and more.
I agree with you for that the Soul isn't an Artifact of course. That's why I wondered the reason of their choice of taking the Heart and not it in the list. But we cannot be sure that no magic holds them. Maybe Garrett would have been ensnared if he had kept the gem for too long...
I didn't know where the heart and soul came from and don't really understand the explanation of "male" and "female" artifacts, and why the fact that they were belonging to the Hammers forbid them to be Artifacts, like the Chalice...
If the gems are not the same, then at least maybe the Eidos have tried to reuse an idea, just to remind the player of something. And even if they didn't, I still do not understand why they didn't take the Horn of Quintus!
Anyway, I'm sorry if I was wrong all along. I really thought there could have been truth in these hypothesis... Well I'll be a more clever taffer since now!

Instead of copping a 'tude, dude, take a screenshot. :cheeky: It looks like my Photoshopped image in your inventory because the background and game world lighting aren't being rendered through it. This is what it looks like in the game world, before being collected, if it didn't leap into your inventory upon opening the chest. I brought it over from the place that actually stores it, since it's not really in the chest, and the Hammer Haunt comes from there, too. This is the Heart with and without Frob-Highlighting (not "Frobbed", sorry):

The-heart-looks-red! The-heart-looks-red! :ebil:
XD hope you don't step on anything while taking the Soul's pic! You are in a BAD place then!!!
Anyway... What's that "male" and "female" notion? And... How in the game can you know they're hammerite thingies?
And isn't my " 'tude " a propper keeper-like reaction?!?!? :grr:
AND WHY IN THE HxxL HAVEN'T THEY USED THE HORN OF QUINTUS WHICH IS QUITE DAMN SUPERNATURAL ISN'T IT ?????
-- ah yep I read some of your other posts, you seem to be one talented taffer! dromeding? programming? i worship you! --
