If any one has been to Blackreach then they should know about the soul gem geodes. Also I personally have seen a lot of corundum. So what if soul gem gems were infused in the metel corundum to make dwarven metal and no one else how found the means to re create it.

And unlike Earth, Nirn is Fiction... Ebony is actually wood and orichalcum was myth to Atlantis. So in other words, you can make all the theories you want and will never get the recipe. :(
