I highly doubt that Raven's sword is actually what made the portal. That was probably something else, whether Semblance or magic (it's unclear, just like how it's unclear if Qrow's "transform(?) into a crow" thing is Semblance or magic, probably magic). She may have just been using her sword as a focus to make the portal, just like how Glynda uses her crop to focus her telekinesis Semblance and Weiss sometimes uses Myrtenaster to focus where she wants to place a glyph (think Lessons Learned, when she was trying to summon).

However, I do agree on the similar colors thing, since it's entirely possible there may be four blue Dusts, unfortunately, between water, ice, steam, and barrier. However, I don't think we should put that on the page, since I think we've only gotten to see two different shades of blue Dust, unless those blue crystals in the geyser biome are a different shade than the dark blue and cyan crystals we've seen.
