This thread got me off onto a tangent, trying to measure resistances on some of these anti-static materials, such as the black foam pad and the silvery "plastic" envelope. I had a capacitor discharge through the unknown and used a MOSFET to monitor the capacitor, since a 10 M-ohm DMM would have discharged it.
I got 33 G-ohms between two electrodes about an inch apart in one of the black pads and 4.2 G-ohms between two electrodes 1/4 inch apart in one of those envelopes.
