Not a damn thing, durability-wise, although I suppose there may be cracking
problems, but the unbroken fragments will undoubtedly be here longer than
uranium. Ask the cockaroaches in 10,000 years. They'll still be living in
Clorox (or Coke) bottles.
Gold is also pretty durable, but as I understand it, there have been problems
with theft from time to time.
