We will present the design of the specialized very forward calorimeter, CASTOR, at the CMS experiment of CERN/LHC, and results of beam-test analysis. Monte Carlo simulations of Strangelet production via deconfined quark matter formation and strangeness distillation in the fragmentation region will be discussed. Monte Carlo simulations of Strangelet identification with this detector will also be shown.
