However it is possible that Dust in their world is a naturally occurring element one might find on the periodic table, if they have one. Even if the closest thing we can describe it to in our world is fossil fuels, that doesn't mean that Dust forms the same way. It is entirely possible that Dust, like diamonds, comes in a solid form and the SDC sharpen it to look like the Dust Crystals we see, then grind down the leftovers to make the more powdery Dust Weiss has in bottles.
