That with it having it's own sentience (identified threats against it and defended itself). To me that sounds like the Soul Stone (from the comics anyways). I don't think we have seen the last of the Aether before Thanos gets his hands on it either. The problem with that is the Soul Stone never merged with someone like that, it would just drain the life out of someone and be done with it. The fact it could turn matter into dark matter and make Malekith grow in size makes it more likely, to me anyway, that it is the Reality Stone. Odds are it is in a liquid state because some ancient Dark Elves found the Stone and made it that way so they could use it in the time it takes to kill a person rather than just outright blowing them up as we've seen other Stones do.
