A string of VX poison gas pearls from Michael Bay's action thriller The Rock. The VX pearls were stolen by rogue Marines led by Brigadier General Frank Hummel (Ed Harris). Dr. Stanley Goodspeed (Nicholas Cage) and John Mason (Sean Connery) extracted strings of pearls from the Marines' missiles to render the weapons inoperable.

The pearls consist of ten glass balls filled with a fluorescent green aloe vera gel, all connected by a flexible plastic pipe that runs through each pearl. They have thin copper wiring running down the sides, which meets at the top in two metal "connectors." The pearls display light scuffing on the glass and corrosion marks on the connectors but remain in overall good overall condition. Dimensions: 18" x 1.5" x 1.5" (46 cm x 4 cm x 4 cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 3,000
