I can be mined, but the drop rate is fairly low. There is no specific aimpoint for Dark Matter. You occasionally get a piece of Dark Matter instead of the regular 1 to 3 crystal shards. I went out mining grade 5 until fatigue, and picked up 4 or 5 pieces of Grade 5 Dark Matter (disclaimer: your results may vary).

I can understand the relatively low DM drop rate from gathering, since it's really the only gil sink in the game right now. Once chocobo rentals, airship tickets, and materia crystalization gil sinks are added in 1.19, I could see SE increasing the gather rate on DM slightly.
