I have a random theory for anyone willing to listen - I think Hard Light dust is a product of the Relic of Creation.

By Atlas's own admission, Hard-Light dust is a product of their own creation. But the problem with making it conventionally is that there isn't any dust with similar properties to naturally exist so it is highly unlikely to be a combination of naturally occurring dust. Furthermore, Hard light doesn't even occur in nature. On top of that, despite being Atlas's creation, it is the rarest form of dust. Which of course could be explained by it being hard to synthesize, but there is also another explanation. Assuming the relic of creation works like the relic of knowledge and lets users create three things every hundred years, it is entirely possible that hard-light dust is a by-product of the relic. Not only that but if Ironwood (or someone else who knows about it) has some degree of control over the winter maiden, he would have plenty of incentive to create hard light dust due to its applicability.
