I think that the natural Dusts are the ones that can't be combined easily. For simplicity's sake, the artificial Dusts are easy to combine with other Dusts. And they're likely cheaper if they're just a replica/variant of  natural Dust, which are being mined, making them harder to manufacture.

I have no theory on how artificial Dust is created at the moment, so I can't really back that theory up.

To add to this, it may be that you can't combine natural Dust types that contradict each other (ie Fire + Ice = Impossibru). But if you combine Dust types that are slightly tied (Fire + Lava = Super Fire Dust, Wind + Lightning = Storm), then results can be found.

It's through the usage of artificial Dust that elements that normally contradict each other can be merged. (Like the Lava Ice combo I mentioned earlier)

Then there's the non-elemental Gravity Dust that we still have no clue about.

But that's just a theory.

On-the-fly edit: Come to think of it, Dust is also used as a bullet.

Is it entirely possible that White Dust is a neutral Dust that's easily converted into rounds? There's elemental rounds, but they're more expensive because they're not as easy to convert.
