There's a quest in Coerthas where you're tasked with securing a shipment of ceruleum for Camp Dragonhead's emplacements.Interesting! Was just having a conversation the other day about whether or not Ishgard may have made any domestic use of Magitek, and the lack of Cereleum was one pretty powerful point against it. Seems it was not so simple perhaps! ^^
While primarily a fuel source, ceruleum is highly explosive. Coerthas was also a hotspot for ceruleum mining in the past, so it wouldn't be surprising that they incorporated it into their technology. Back in 1.0, the empire had actually infiltrated and secured the Dzemael Darkhold in an effort to harvest the vast stores of ceruleum contained within the natural crystal formations strewn about the caves.
