In fridge in water with some antibacterial chemical - or - dry it between two sheets of cellophane.

put it in new polythene cover and seal it with sealer. we used to do this. we can keep for years.

I was able to store mine in distilled water for months at my bench. You may want to put some antimicrobial in it. The best it to dry it.
