Yesss. This is my whole life right now at 32 weeks. I'm taking an iron supplement, but it hasn't curbed my intense ice cravings. My other craving is rolaids and the crunchy-powder like feeling of them in my mouth.

careful with the cornstarch, it can lower your blood pressure

Nope, just beach sand

Hi there.  Craving ice during pregnancy is a sign of iron deficiency.  Definitely mention these cravings to your doctor.  good luck!
