You're right, I've been thinking of Dust like a bomb. I should be thinking of it like some magical all-purpose one-use battery miracle substance, capable of storing whatever kind of energy it needs to. If the crystal is releasing all of it's energy at once, assuming it was at full capacity, with a weight of 260 grams, that gives an Uncut Red Dust crystal a Joule capacity of 442,375,700 joules. I don't know why, but I think that sounds crazy for how big it is. Given that fact-checking this requires a metric flip-ton of math, I'm going to move this over to a new thread purposed with figuring out just how Dust would work in our world.
