A bit of black dust inside my 600 mh. Should I turn it on?

[Dudesome]

I was just installing a 600 mh into a cooltube, when my wise ass girlfriend threw me a wet washing cloth right on it. The bulb hit the cooltube wall slightly and some little black dust appeared in it. Looks a little like black powder and it freely travels within the bulb.

So my question is: should I give it a try? The glass looks totally fine, but the dust part is freaking me out.

Angry at my girl....

Might have been carbon dust from ur filter if its outside the bulb.
