That would be Halite, the mineral name for salt. Halite has the same composition, NaCl, and same crystal system, the isometric, system as salt. Normally, halite will form cubic crystals, sometimes with a stepped or cavernous growth habit. Halite will uncommonly form octahedral crystals, also in the isometric system.
