Indeed. I was offered the item, didn't want to touch it. 
Dropping it risks having adventurers find it again. You'd need to bring it really, really far to drop it to minimize that risk.
I've actually never wanted to *destroy* an item before, so I actually find this item to be rather interesting in an obviously unintended way.
Have some obscure char that never joins battles (a priest or something) take the item and just keep it untill decay. That way it'll be destroyed forever.
