One of the Kepler-Poinsot Solids whose Dual Polyhedron is the Great
Dodecahedron. Its Schläfli Symbol is
. It is also Uniform
Polyhedron
and has Wythoff Symbol
. It was originally called the Urchin by
Kepler.
It is composed of 12 Pentagrammic faces. Its faces are
. The easiest way to
construct it is to build twelve pentagonal Pyramids
and attach them to the faces of a Dodecahedron. The Circumradius of the
small stellated dodecahedron with is
