1-The energy surge when his aura was active instantly healed the wounds he had, and he visibly glowed for a few seconds. If that wasn't enough energy to activate something like what you are suggesting, he will never be able to do so.

2-More importantly what you are describing (microscopic dust crystals) is ''literally powder. ''So making a distinction between the stability of powder vs crystals is irrelevant. 1-Not really, if we follow the logical idea that Aura only activates Dust if it's used to activate it. When it isn't, no matter how big the surge of Aura, since it's not interacting with the Dust, it won't activate it, it'll just ignore it.

2-Dust in Powder form, as shown in the show itself, was so unstable a simple sneeze was enough to cause an explosion, even considering the Dust was still in it's flask. Meanwhile, in the previous episode we see Roman throw a Crystal-form Dust from the airship to Ruby's feet, quite the distance, and nothing happened. It only exploded when Roman fired at it with his grenade cane.

In other words, Powdered Dust is unstable and can be easily set off, while Crystal is far more stable and harder to set off. Thus, the argument that Dust is so unstable it can be activated with a sneeze only applies to Powder Dust, and fails with Crystal Dust.
