Didn't they say that powdered dust is more potent but more volatile than crystal dust?

I would think that the act of turning the dust to powder would be a part of this purification process, to remove impurities that are present in the crystals. This is why it is more potent, but is also more volatile.

So when Weiss mentions dust that's been purified, she means dust that has been processed and turned to powder by the SDC, whereas the crystals Reese shoved in her hoverboard are unprocessed and raw crystals.
