Dodecahedron regular dodecahedron but less symmetrical: the pyritohedron with pyritohedral symmetry, and the tetartoid with tetrahedral symmetry: A pyritohedron is a dodecahedron with pyritohedral (T) symmetry. Like the regular dodecahedron, it has twelve identical pentagonal faces, with three meeting in each of the 20 vertices. However, the pentagons are not constrained to be regular, and the underlying atomic arrangement has no true fivefold symmetry axes. Its 30 edges are divided into two sets – containing 24 and 6 edges of the same length. The only axes of rotational symmetry are three mutually perpendicular twofold axes and four threefold axes. Although regular
Rhombic dodecahedron The "rhombic dodecahedron" has four special orthogonal projections along its axes of symmetry, centered on a face, an edge, and the two types of vertex, threefold and fourfold. The last two correspond to the B and A Coxeter planes. The eight vertices where three faces meet at their obtuse angles have Cartesian coordinates: The coordinates of the six vertices where four faces meet at their acute angles are: The rhombic dodecahedron can be seen as a degenerate limiting case of a pyritohedron, with permutation of coordinates and with parameter "h" = 1. The "rhombic dodecahedron" is a parallelohedron, a space-filling
