I'm not a blacksmith, but I did a little research for you and this desynth seems like it would give you good results.

Smithing (19) Lightning Crystal + Goblin Helm
Result: Bronze Ingot
HQ #1: Iron Ingot
HQ #2: Steel Ingot
HQ #3: Steel Ingot

Prices in Jeuno as of two minutes ago:

Goblin Helm - 1k each
Lightning Cluster - 4k each

Bronze Ingot - 2k each or 15k stack
Iron Ingot - 4k each or 42k stack
Steel Ingot - 7k each or 70k stack

It's not on the order of millions, but it seems like it would generate a slow, steady profit in chunks of 20k-50k, which is what I'm used to as a cook. Also, if I'm not mistaken this desynth has an HQ4 of Gold Ingot. I know for sure I've seen someone making Gold Ingots from Goblin Helms in Port Jeuno, but I'm not 100% certain Lightning was the crystal used.

Hope that's helpful to you.
