Quick answer: It's an item used for the Alchemy system.
You open the philosophers cache to get any one of the 10 other caches (or a Heart Charm for GOFusion). Each of those colored caches may be opened to obtain components needed to craft alchemy formulas.

So. If you have no interest in starting Alchemy, you're best off to sell it. (Well, I believe it's worth opening for the chance of one of the more expensive caches or the Heart Charm to sell those.)

If you're interested in finding out more about the Alchemy System, I'll link you to an intro guide. Basically, it's expensive. I hear that people can profit from alchemy, but most lose gold.
Alchemy allows you to create new items. The catch? You must have a formula, all the needed ingredients (often, expensive items) and the gold necessary to craft that item.
Formulas come in ten different levels. You gain experience by crafting items. You can only craft formulas that are your level or below.
Why do alchemy? As I said, some people profit. Others are just using up the caches that they find in the Dumpster Dive. Some have specific items they'd like to make (mainly the coveted Backwings). Some just want the achievement points that you earn from Alchemy.
