A mechanism is proposed for the initiation of dust formation in stellar winds of M-type giants and supergiants. If Mg and Fe are ionized (M0…M4) dust formation is initiated by homogeneous nucleation of SiO, otherwise (later ≍ M2) by homogeneous nucleation of MgS. The condensation temperatures for these mechanisms agree well with observations.
