In principle I agree, but that you found a piece of halite outdoors I
consider unlikely.  Many crystals form a face-centered cubic structure, but
halite will be unlikely to stay long outdoors (too water soluble.)

I was at a school.  No doubt this chunk of salt came off a truck.  It's
been cold enough to worry about salting roads,  then warm enough to want to
go for a walk.
