is a composition of 2 small stellated dodecahedra, in the same arrangement as in the compound of 2 icosahedra
Compound of two icosahedra
This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of 2 icosahedra. It has octahedral symmetry Oh.The triangles in this compound decompose into two orbits under action of the symmetry group: 16 of the triangles lie in coplanar pairs in octahedral planes, while the other 24 lie in unique planes.It...
