We can draw conclusions from this: The dust in the vial was treated a lot more roughly - thrown though the air and then rolling along the ground until it hit Blake's boot - yet it didn't blow up. So, I think we can conclude that Red Dust Powder is only volative if it is mixed with air. Sort of like metallic sodium being relatively stable until you get it wet.

So, red dust, mixed with air and then shocked (say, by the concussion wave of a sneeze) = boom.
