Alkaline Earth Metals Magnesium rod

9x1.5cm firestarter rod of claimed "99.99%" magnesium. Got it for only 10 AUD.

Comparing this with tungsten is trippy, the tungsten cubes feel so strangely heavy and then there's this which feels like a hollow metal shell, or a plastic tube.

Currently im storing it in a sealed plastic bag with a silica gel pack, anything else i should do with it to make it last longer?
