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.

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)

What is the difference between a crystal and a crystal system?
Crystal systems are the way in which unit cells are categorized according to their axial and dimensional symmetry while crystal structure refers to size, shape, and atomic arrangement within the lattice.
