The crystal system that halite crystals belong to is the Isometrics-Hexoctahedral system. One common use of halite is table salt.

∙ 11y agoI have no clue what isometric is but to make sure it isn't the worng answer here's the right one: CUBIC
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt's in the cubic. Another example is fluorite.

Does crystals of a mineral come always in the same size?
The crystals will always form according the geometric parameters of the mineral crystal system to which they belong, but the size of the crystals varies depending on the environment in which they form.
A large piece of mineral halite is broken repeatedly into perfect cubes how can this be explained?
Halite has perfect cleavage in three directions and is in the cubic crystal system.
What crystal shape does obsidian have?
Quartz belongs to the hexagonal crystal system.
How do geologists use different types of crystal shapes to classify minerals?
Minerals are classified by their geometry into six different mineral crystal systems. Each crystal system has its own set of parameters based on relationships between length and angles between a crystals axes.
What is a mineral with the same crystal system as salt?
Fluorite belongs to the same crystal system as salt - the cubic (also known as the isometric) crystal system.

What are two examples of a cubic crystal system?
fluorite and halite dude, okay, Get Some!

What crystal system is the sugar crystal?
monoclinic
What is a crystal system why is it useful to classify mineral crystals this way?
Knowing a mineral's crystal system helps researchers understand its atomic structure and physical qualities.
What determines a mineral's shape?
yes. each minerals atoms are arranged in a very specific order.
What crystal shape does obsidian have?
Quartz belongs to the hexagonal crystal system.
What is the crystal system?
It is a system of classification of crystals into 7 crystal systems(Cubic,Tetragonal,Othorgonal,Hexagonal,Trigonal.Monoclinic and Triclinic) on the basis of their Geometrical properties and symmetry (Diads,Triads,Tetrads,Planes of symmetry,Centre of symmetry)

How you determine the crystal class and crystal system of a crystal from its symmetry content?
you can determine crystal class and crystal system of a crystal from its symmetry by 3 criteria of symmetry.1.plane of symmetry:this divides the crystal into two such that one half of it is a mirror image to the other,e.g a halite(cube) has 9 plane of symmetry.(2)axis of symmetry:this is the axis about which the rotation takes place when a crystal wants to occupy position in space more than one time in a complete turn.(3).centre of symmetry:this when the like faces,edges e.t.c are arrange in pairs in corresponding position on the opposite side of the central point.
Which crystal system does corundum have?
Corundum is in the trigonal crystal system.
