It's not. I work with a dude with a geology degree and ice fits all the criteria for being a rock and therefore water is lava.

Wouldn't it be a mineral, rather than a rock?

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 7 hours ago

So...from what I've gathered from my geologist co-worker is yes but unless the distinction is necessary minerals are just kinda referred to as rocks. A lot of things that are totally rocks aren't considered 'rocks' by geologists cause people were involved in their creation or alteration. Basically if its not worth studying they don't call it a rock. So while pavement is totally a rock, its not a TRUE rock
