I have been looking for the cross product symbol in latex, but haven't found any yet.
Any help would be appreciated!

As Alan-munn suggested "Finding out whether the font has the symbol depends on your OS. There are many tools that can display all the symbols in a font. Using a particular font for part of a document is covered here: How do I use a particular font for a small section of a document"
Any of my symbol search starts at http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html
and later symbols-a4.pdf. I got it from symbols-a4.pdf link.

\Cross in \usepackage{marvosym}.
It is important to note that this symbol only works in text mode.
\documentclass[12pt,convert=false,border=5pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{marvosym}
%\usepackage{bbding}
\begin{document}
\Cross
\end{document}

Based on the accepted answer at Is there a religious symbols font collection?, a XeLaTeX solution that grabs unicode character 2626 from a font that has the symbol.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Segoe UI Symbol}
\begin{document}\Huge
\symbol{"2626}
\end{document}
egreg suggests FreeSerif font as a preferred alternative to Segoe UI Symbol, because of its distribution with TeX Live, and its general availability at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/, in the form of freefont-otf-20100919.zip. With FreeSerif, the result looks like this:
Otherwise, like Herbert's answer, it can be constructed, in this case, with stacks, where I create the macro \byz (EDITED to add kerning). The rule thickness is controlled by \rlwd. If reset from 0.4pt to 0.7pt, the symbol becomes more bold:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{stackengine,graphicx}
\def\rlwd{.4pt}
\def\byz{\kern.5pt\def\stacktype{L}%
\stackon[0.65ex]{%
\stackon[1.4ex]{%
\stackon[1.1ex]{\rule{\rlwd}{1.8ex}}{\rule{1.4ex}{\rlwd}}%
}{\rule{0.8ex}{\rlwd}}%
}{\rotatebox{-20}{\rule{0.8ex}{\rlwd}}}%
\kern1pt}
\begin{document}
A\byz$\Omega$
\def\rlwd{.7pt}\par
A\byz$\Omega$
\end{document}

\timesis the command commonly used for the cross product.In general, I suggest trying Detexify for such matters.
