Could negative matter/energy exist in a stable state?

As in, could negative matter (N.B. not the same thing as antimatter) exist on the macro-scale as a solid, liquid or gas without the weird effects that cause it to repel normal matter and possibly violate conservation of energy? Or would any story hinging on the existence of negative matter require portraying it inaccurately?

I ask because I need some sort of warp drive fuel that can be physically mined rather than collected or filtered using some sort of trap. I also want to keep my story on the harder end of sci fi so I decided that the best FTL mechanism to use would be Alcubierre drives or Krasnikov tubes.
