Icosahedral 120-cell

Icosahedral 120-cell

In geometry, the icosahedral 120-cell is a star polychoron with Schläfli symbol {3,5,5/2}. It is one of 10 regular Schläfli-Hess polychora.

It is constructed by 5 icosahedra around each edge in a pentagrammic figure. The vertex figure is a great dodecahedron.

It has the same edge arrangement as the 600-cell, grand 120-cell and great 120-cell.
