The crystal system that halite crystals belong to is the Isometrics-Hexoctahedral system. One common use of halite is table salt.
Halite is structured out of crystals that form perfect cubes. This does not mean the mineral is a cube in shape naturally but it is made out of smaller cubes to form the whole.
I have no clue what isometric is but to make sure it isn't the worng answer here's the right one: CUBIC
It's in the cubic. Another example is fluorite.
Halite (i.e. salt) belongs to the isometric (or cubic) crystal system, where a=b=c and alpha=beta=gamma=90o.
Isometric hexoctahedral
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.
Halite has perfect cleavage in three directions and is in the cubic crystal system.
Quartz belongs to the hexagonal crystal system.
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.
Fluorite belongs to the same crystal system as salt - the cubic (also known as the isometric) crystal system.

fluorite and halite dude, okay, Get Some!
Halite has perfect cleavage in three directions and is in the cubic crystal system.
monoclinic
Knowing a mineral's crystal system helps researchers understand its atomic structure and physical qualities.
yes. each minerals atoms are arranged in a very specific order.
Quartz belongs to the hexagonal 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)

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.
Corundum is in the trigonal crystal system.
