Finally, another shard of the Ata'mal crystal has made an appearance.

From Wowpedia (http://www.wowpedia.org/Ata'mal_crystal):

The Ata'mal crystal was a sacred artifact of the eredar, accessible only by their three leaders - Archimonde, Kil'jaeden and Velen. Then the Dark Titan, Sargeras the Destroyer, came to Argus and offered the eredar unlimited power and worlds to conquer in exchange for their loyalty. Archimonde and Kil'jaeden readily agreed, but Velen - who possessed the gift of Sight that the others lacked - saw the truth behind Sargeras' offer, and how he intended to lay waste to the known universe.

Praying for guidance, Velen's pleas were answered by the naaru known as K'ure. K'ure instructed Velen to take the crystal and rally anyone willing to listen to him, and travel to Argus' tallest mountain on the longest day of the year. There, Velen's prayers would be answered. As Velen and his followers awaited a sign from the naaru, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden had caught wind of Velen's plan and unleashed their man'ari slaves to attack. Raising the crystal into the air in desperation, Velen watched as the crystal was struck by a beam of light, and suddenly shattered in his hand. The crystal created a barrier of light that prevented the man'ari from reaching them. At that moment, K'ure provided their escape from Argus - the gigantic diamond-vessel that would become known by the orcs as Oshu'gun, or "Mountain of Spirits".

The Ata'mal crystal was sundered into seven shards during Velen's escape, in the colors of light as seen when refracted through a prism - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. All of them are named, but only four have confirmed colors; the other colors of the remaining three are unknown.

Just a bit of lore on the thing. :3

If this is real, this will be the first Articaft we players will be able to "use"(Depends what this item will do). Other then that here's a list of items that were Artifact before going to the color of Heirloom(also the color of GM items)

• [Martin Thunder], GM Weapon
• [Martin Fury], GM shirt
• [Alex's Ring of Audacity], GM artifact ring
• [The Twin Blades of Azzinoth], GM artifact single item version of set. Not to be confused with the player obtainable The Twin Blades of Azzinoth
• [Warglaive of Azzinoth (Left)], GM Weapon
• [Warglaive of Azzinoth (Right)] GM Weapon

Its a N'aaru Artifact I bet.

Red items are Artifacts; they were originally in the game guide for WoW in the beta/early live, but were removed. This is an artifact.

Red items are usually GM only,   Guessing it's a place holder color.    Probably something to do with the legendary chain.

It's red
