Maximum Time for Soaking Saffron?

So I was supposed to make a pot of saffron rice for New Year's Eve, so I put my saffron in water (in a glass tupperware) to soak for a few hours before cooking. Unfortunately, my NYE plans fell through and I never ended up making the rice. As a result, the saffron has been soaking in water from that day (12/31) to today (01/05).

Would I still be able to use the saffron now, or has it been soaking for too long? I don't see any visible mold on it and it smells fine, but I've never soaked it for this long before; the most we have ever done is about 24 hours.
