I store it with my metals - which is away from any acids. It will
react with nitric acid (I tried once - just to see), just as
copper does. In fact one of the things I have done with it is to
use in in a lab to determine the percent copper in the metal (by
reacting with nitric acid and then quantitating the "blueness" of
the solution with a spec of some sort).
Good luck
Dave

Can anyone shed any light on this particular
materials' storage? It has caused some controversy
here, and we would appreciate another perspective.
Thank you!
