It wasn't blasted with anything and I remember reading an article with this picture several of similar pictures a few years ago. There was a sequence taken of increasingly larger magnification of a single snowflake, and I recognize this one as being the highest magnification.

So, what exactly are we looking at. I believe snow is nothing more than a speck of dust surounded by Water that freezes to make ice. Would this be some kind of dust particle or H2O?

It's apparently "rime frost on both ends of a 'capped column' snowflake." See the discussion page for some extra tidbits.
