| | |  Missile part. This is a machined beryllium missile part of some sort.  Beryllium is extremely toxic in powdered form, but relatively harmless as long as it's fully intact.  Making a part like this must be quite difficult to do safely considering the amount of very toxic beryllium dust and shavings that would be generated.
