I was discussing this with some friends yesterday, and we’ve basically narrowed it down to three contenders. In order:

Rules:

Going by dictionary definition of “rock”, which means “stone”, which means “mineral”.

Water is a mineral according to the dictionary, which is why ice is in there.

Minerals are inorganic according to the dictionary, so things like sugar crystals don’t count, since they’re organic.

So, is it one of those three, or are there other delicious rocks that we’ve overlooked?

I got some from Brighton beach once, that was pretty tasty. Yes I broke your rules.
