A halite crystal belongs to the cubic crystal system. The other five crystal systems are monoclinic, triclinic, orthorhombic, tetragonal, and hexagonal.
The cubic crystal system is characterised by the way the atoms in the mineral are arranged in the three dimensional shape of a cube. The halite crystal has this shape. Attached is an image of it.
