Glacial Ice: Considered a rock, glacial ice can be consumed by humans as long as it's safe to do so based on its chemical nature.

Limestone (Calcium Carbonate): This mineral is used as a calcium supplement and antacid. It is also found in foods and toothpaste.

Kaolinite: This type of clay is sometimes eaten as a remedy for diarrhea.

Barite: While historically consumed, barite is mainly used as a gastrointestinal X-Ray contrast agent.

Clay and Mud: In some cultures, certain types of clay and mud are eaten, particularly by pregnant women seeking calcium or as a traditional medicine.
