Summary

[edit]
Description
Naively and traditionally the great stellated dodecahedron is perceived as an icosahedron with pyramids added to its sides.
A more precise and modern view is that the core is a great dodecahedron.

The icosahedral core of the great stellated dodecahedron

Image set Platonic, Archimedean and Catalan solids with direction colors
Part of Polyhedra with direction colors (image set)
This polyhedron has a form of icosahedral symmetry. There are 30 blue elements.

This set contains renderings of Platonic, Archimedean and Catalan solids. For most of them the sphere shown on the right is the polyhedrons midsphere.

The geometric properties of these images have been calculated with Python, and they have been rendered with POV-Ray. The source code used can be found on GitHub. The POV-Ray sources are in this folder.
