Properties Regular

In the geometry of hyperbolic 4-space, the small stellated 120-cell honeycomb is one of four regular star-honeycombs. With Schläfli symbol {5/2,5,3,3}, it has three small stellated 120-cells around each face. It is dual to the pentagrammic-order 600-cell honeycomb.

It can be seen as a stellation of the 120-cell honeycomb, and is thus analogous to the three-dimensional small stellated dodecahedron {5/2,5} and four-dimensional small stellated 120-cell {5/2,5,3}. It has density 5.
