Compound of five great icosahedra Type Uniform compound Index UC53 Polyhedra 5 great icosahedra Faces 40+60 Triangles Edges 150 Vertices 60 Symmetry group icosahedral (Ih) Subgroup restricting to one constituent pyritohedral (Th) This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of 5 great icosahedra, in the same arrangement as in the compound of 5 icosahedra.
The triangles in this compound decompose into two orbits under action of the symmetry group: 40 of the triangles lie in coplanar pairs in icosahedral planes, while the other 60 lie in unique planes.
