Stellation diagram

In geometry, the great triambic icosahedron and medial triambic icosahedron are a visually identical dual uniform polyhedra. The exterior surface also represents a stellation of the icosahedron.

The 12 vertices of the convex hull matches the vertex arrangement of an icosahedron.

Great triambic icosahedron

The great triambic icosahedron is the dual of the great ditrigonal icosidodecahedron, U47. It has 20 inverted-hexagonal faces, shaped like a three-bladed propeller. It has 32 vertices: 12 exterior points, and 20 hidden inside. It has 60 edges.

Medial triambic icosahedron

The medial triambic icosahedron is the dual of the ditrigonal dodecadodecahedron, U41. It has 20 faces, each being simple concave isogonal hexagons. It has 24 vertices: 12 exterior points, and 12 hidden inside. It has 60 edges.

As a stellation

It is Wenninger's 34th model in his 9th stellation of the icosahedron
