Abstract: Formation of stable domains filled with strongly correlated coherent quark matter is discussed in general terms and is exemplified further in the framework of the Generalised Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. It is argued that such domains, if exist in the Universe, appear dark to an external observer.
