A negative search using 1/12 of the eventual MACRO detector, has yielded strange quark matter flux limits of 1.1×10-14 cm-2 sr-2 s-1 for 10-10g~0.1g. We have modified the formula of the De Rujúla and Glashow for the light yield of strange quark matter to include the UV light absorbed and re-emitted in the visible region, and proved that the MACRO sensitivity extends almost to the escape velocity of the earth. Our flux limit, therefore, not only applies to strange quark matter of galactic and extragalactic origin but can also be used to address strange quark matter possibly trapped in our solar system.
