@Phantomlink959,

There is no indication that all dust crystals automatically dissolve into energy upon activation. If that happened, other technologies, such as anti-gravity vehicles, would fail pretty quickly. It is probably more of a case that certain types of dust dissolve into energy because of the nature of the energy that they produce.

Similarly it is powdered dust that seems to be unstable. Dust crystals are so stable that they can be thrown around and will remain stable until activated by, say, being shot.
