Ice does meet the definition of a mineral, whether it is in an icicle, a glacier, or a snowflake.
Stalactites are the icicle-shaped features that form on cave ceilings. They are composed of mineral deposits that accumulate as water drips from the cave ceiling and evaporates, leaving behind a small amount of mineral material.
The icicle-like speleothem that grows down from the roof of a cavern is called a stalactite. Stalactites are formed by mineral-rich water dripping from the cave ceiling and depositing minerals as it hangs and drips downward. Over time, these mineral deposits build up to create the elongated, tapering structure we see in caves.

Stalactites hang from the ceiling of caves and are formed by mineral-rich water dripping down, while stalagmites grow up from the floor of caves from the mineral deposits left behind by dripping water. Stalactites have a tapering icicle-like shape, while stalagmites are more mound-like and grow upward.
An icicle grows as water drips down the structure and freezes adding to its length and thickness. Organisms grow via the addition of new cells to the organs it contains. These organs grow from the inside out over the entire structure.

An icicle hung from the roof after the snowstorm.
The ICICLE dropped on his head
stalactite- an icicle-shaped mineral deposit, usu. calcite or aragonite, hanging from the roof of a cavern, formed from the dripping of mineral-rich water. stalagmite- a conical mineral deposit, usu. calcite or aragonite, built up on the floor of a cavern, formed from the dripping of mineral-rich water.
