Compound of six pentagonal antiprisms 
Type Uniform compound Index UC27 Polyhedra 6 pentagonal antiprisms Faces 60 triangles,
12 pentagonsEdges 120 Vertices 60 Symmetry group icosahedral (Ih) Subgroup restricting to one constituent 5-fold antiprismatic (D5d) This uniform polyhedron compound is a symmetric arrangement of 6 pentagonal antiprisms. It can be constructed by inscribing within an icosahedron one pentagonal antiprism in each of the six possible ways, and then rotating each by 36 degrees about its axis (that passes through the centres of the two opposite pentagonal faces).
It shares its vertex arrangement with the compound of 6 pentagrammic crossed antiprisms.
Cartesian coordinates
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the cyclic permutations of
- (±(3+4τ), 0, ±(4−3τ))
- (±(2−4τ), ±5τ, ±(1−2τ))
- (±(2+τ), ±5, ±(4+2τ))
where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ).
