Magma doesn't melt into hexagons, only biological life creates that shape in nature.
If you're DEEP in the ancient history rabbit hole, you know exactly what this was...
The otherworldly Fingal's Cave in Scotland, its hexagonally shaped basalt columns are the result of volcanic activity during the Paleocene epoch, around 60 million years ago.

I'm not, what do you think it is?
Even metals form in crystalline structures, it's a byproduct of elemental bonds, not necessarily cell boundaries, which are just the same thing fractalled larger.
Nah. You're right, magma doesn't "melt" into hexagonal columns. But a basaltic magma commonly expresses columnar jointing as it cools and shrinks in volume. This can be seen all over the world.
