No, dry ice frozen carbon dioxide (CO2), it is created when CO2 is released in a high-pressure container that results to the cooling of liquid to freezing point. Dry ice sublimates directly from solid gas and has the temperature of -109.3°F or -78.5°C.

ice is slippery and dry ice is not because ice dosent dry out when the sun hits it and dry ice does!

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2). It is called dry ice because it does not melt when it heats up, it goes directly from solid to gas. It is NOT the same as ordinary ice, which is of course, solid water. Dry ice is much colder than ordinary ice.
Solidified Carbon Di Oxide is commonly known as dry ice. At temperature below -78.5oC, carbon di oxide converts into dry ice through sublimation.
By definition a mineral must be solid. Ice is solid. Water is not.

Water as a solid, in the form of ice, is considered a mineral when it is naturally occurring. Ice in snow banks is considered a mineral but ice cubes you make in your freezer are not a mineral.

Yes ice is a mineral because it has all of the physical traits an object needs to be considered a mineral; however, is not a mineral.
Ice cubes are not naturally-occurring in the cube form, they are man-made. But ice itself is a mineral.

Ice forms a glacier and therefore it is considered a mineral.
Yes, dry ice is opaque.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide.
Do you sell dry ice
Simple. You keep ice in dry ice. But be careful not to eat dry ice!
