Cubic (Crystal System)In crystallography, the cubic crystal system is the most symmetric of the 7 crystal systems. The system is composed of the three Bravais lattices whose symmetry group is that of a cube. The three Bravais lattices that form the cubic crystal system are: simple cubic> | body-centered cubic | face-centered cubic | | Cubic, simple | Cubic, body-centered | Cubic, face-centered | The point groups that fall under this crystal system are listed below, followed by their representations in international notation and Schoenflies notation, and mineral examples. name> | olspan=2|international | |Schoenflies | example | | exoctahedral | | or | Oh | galena | | yroidal | colspan=2|432 | | O | cuprite | | iploidal | | or | Th | pyrite | | etrahedral | colspan=2| | |Td | sphalerite | | etartohedral | colspan=2|23 | T | See also: close-packing
