You should scan it, it will give you a hint to what not to do so its safe. Its a lot of money if you sell it.

Black triangle Obscures vision while holding it, or for anyone too close to you
Purple/unstable triangle Chance to explode when picking up

Actually for the purple/unstable if you walk to far with out stopping/too fast it explodes, not on random pick up.

It's just basically nitroglycerine.
If you run or get hit, you explode and anyone nearby too (400+ DMG, so instant kill even at max HP). Curiously, the substance itself survives the explosion.

I didn't try to jump but I guess you die too. droping it is safe.
You can use teleporter with it. just don't sprint and you are fine.

As for Author : Dark matter is perfectly safe to pick up. It does anoying things but you won't get damaged unlike with the radioactive or unstable substance.
