We present the results of an experimental search for stable strange matter using the heavy ion activation technique. We studied samples of a meteorite, terrestrial nickel ore, and lunar soil. Our search improved the existing experimental limit on the strange matter content in normal matter by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude, and allowed us to probe for the first time the flux of low mass strangelets on the lunar surface.
