Compound of two snub cubes Type Uniform compound Index UC68 Polyhedra 2 snub cubes Faces 16+48 triangles, 12 squares Edges 120 Vertices 48 Symmetry group octahedral (Oh) Subgroup restricting to one constituent chiral octahedral (O) This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of the 2 enantiomers of the snub cube.
The vertex arrangement of this compound is shared by a convex nonuniform truncated cuboctahedron, having rectangular faces, alongside irregular hexagons and octagons, each alternating with two edge lengths.
