It's been suggested by Ruby that it's not Cinder's semblance. But that doesn't mean she didn't use two separate Dust forms to create her weapons. Maybe Blake's rock clone truly did involve fire Dust. 1. Blake's clone looked like a rock. Just a straightup pure normal gray rock. Cinder's swords and arrows, on the other hand, were smooth, black, and shiny like obsidian. Completely different. Cinder's clothes glowed orange, and Blake didn't have orange Dust. It's totally different.

2. I kind of doubt that Dust can be mixed on the fly just by using two at once. If it could, there wouldn't be much of a point for the Schnee Dust Company to produce such large quantities of the other colors that Dust shops like From Dust Til Dawn have tons of the stuff on the shelves, in the dispenser tubes, and as crystals on display. Meanwhile, you can use one Dust against what manifests from another Dust, like if someone makes ice and you counter with fire or lava.
