Type Uniform compound
Uniform polyhedron compound
A uniform polyhedron compound is a polyhedral compound whose constituents are identical uniform polyhedra, in an arrangement that is also uniform: the symmetry group of the compound acts transitively on the compound's vertices.The uniform polyhedron compounds were first enumerated by John Skilling...

 is a symmetric arrangement of 6 pentagrammic crossed antiprisms. It can be constructed by inscribing within a great icosahedron one pentagrammic crossed antiprism in each of the six possible ways, and then rotating each by 36 degrees about its axis (that passes through the centres of the two opposite pentagrammic faces). It shares its vertices with the compound of 6 pentagonal antiprisms

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the cyclic permutations of
(±(3−4τ−1), 0, ±(4+3τ−1))
(±(2+4τ−1), ±τ−1, ±(1+2τ−1))
(±(2−τ−1), ±1, ±(4−2τ−1))


where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio
Golden ratio
In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one. The golden ratio is an irrational mathematical constant, approximately 1.61803398874989...
