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 12 pentagrammic crossed antiprisms. It can be constructed by inscribing one pair of pentagrammic crossed antiprisms within a great icosahedron, in each of the six possible ways, and then rotating each by an equal and opposite angle θ.
When θ is 36 degrees, the antiprisms coincide in pairs to yield (two superimposed copies of) the compound of six pentagrammic crossed antiprisms
Compound of six pentagrammic crossed antiprisms
This uniform polyhedron compound 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...

Compound of twelve pentagonal antiprisms with rotational freedom
This uniform polyhedron compound is a symmetric arrangement of 12 pentagonal antiprisms. It can be constructed by inscribing one pair of pentagonal antiprisms within an icosahedron, in each of the six possible ways, and then rotating each by an equal and opposite angle θ.When θ is 36 degrees, the...
