Halite, also known as rock salt, is the mineral form of sodium chloride (NaCl). Its cubic structure is responsible for the characteristic square shape of salt crystals.
Other minerals that can crystallize in the cubic system include:
* Pyrite (FeS2) - known as "fool's gold"
* Galena (PbS)
* Fluorite (CaF2)
* Magnetite (Fe3O4)
It's important to note that while these minerals *can* form cubic crystals, their crystal form can vary depending on the conditions during their formation.
