Hexapentakis truncated icosahedron constructed as an augmented truncated icosahedron, adding pyramids to the 20 hexagonal faces, creating 120 new triangular faces. It is visually similar to the chiral snub dodecahedron which has 80 triangles and 12 pentagons. The dual polyhedron can be seen as a "hexatruncated pentakis dodecahedron", a dodecahedron with its faced augmented by pentagonal pyramids (a pentakis dodecahedron), and then its 6-valance vertices truncated. It has similar groups of irregular pentagons as the pentagonal hexecontahedron. Hexapentakis truncated icosahedron The hexapentakis truncated icosahedron is a convex polyhedron constructed as an augmented truncated icosahedron. It is geodesic polyhedron {3,5+}, with pentavalent vertices separated
Rhombic dodecahedron seen as the Voronoi tessellation of the face-centered cubic lattice. It is the Brillouin zone of body centered cubic (bcc) crystals. Some minerals such as garnet form a rhombic dodecahedral crystal habit. Honey bees use the geometry of rhombic dodecahedra to form honeycombs from a tessellation of cells each of which is a hexagonal prism capped with half a rhombic dodecahedron. The rhombic dodecahedron also appears in the unit cells of diamond and diamondoids. In these cases, four vertices (alternate threefold ones) are absent, but the chemical bonds lie on the remaining edges. The graph of the rhombic dodecahedron is
