Great stellated dodecahedron of uniform polyhedra. Truncating edges down to points produces the great icosidodecahedron as a rectified great stellated dodecahedron. The process completes as a birectification, reducing the original faces down to points, and producing the great icosahedron. The truncated "great stellated dodecahedron" is a degenerate polyhedron, with 20 triangular faces from the truncated vertices, and 12 (hidden) pentagonal faces as truncations of the original pentagram faces, the latter forming a great dodecahedron inscribed within and sharing the edges of the icosahedron. Great stellated dodecahedron In geometry, the great stellated dodecahedron is a Kepler-Poinsot polyhedron, with Schläfli symbol {5/2,3}. It is one
Bilinski dodecahedron Bilinski dodecahedron In geometry, the Bilinski dodecahedron is a 12-sided convex polyhedron with congruent rhombic faces. It has the same topology but different geometry from the face transitive rhombic dodecahedron, another 12-sided polyhedron with congruent rhombic faces. This shape appears in a 1752 book by John Lodge Cowley, labeled as the dodecarhombus. It is named after Stanko Bilinski, who rediscovered it in 1960. Bilinski himself called it the rhombic dodecahedron of the second kind. Bilinski's discovery corrected a 75-year-old omission in Evgraf Fedorov's classification of convex polyhedra with congruent rhombic faces. In the rhombi of the Bilinski dodecahedron, the ratio
