Rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb cells. The vertices with the acute rhombic face angles have 6 cells. The rhombic dodecahedron can be twisted on one of its hexagonal cross-sections to form a trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron, which is the cell of a somewhat similar tessellation, the Voronoi diagram of hexagonal close-packing. The "rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb" can be dissected into a trigonal trapezohedral honeycomb with each rhombic dodecahedron dissected into 4 trigonal trapezohedrons. Each rhombic dodecahedra can also be dissected with a center point into 12 rhombic pyramids of the rhombic pyramidal honeycomb. The trapezo-rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It consists
Order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb 3-sphere, with 2 hemispherical cells. There are nine uniform honeycombs in the [5,3,5] Coxeter group family, including this regular form. Also the bitruncated form, t{5,3,5}, , of this honeycomb has all truncated icosahedron cells. The Seifert–Weber space is a compact manifold that can be formed as a quotient space of the order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb. This honeycomb is a part of a sequence of polychora and honeycombs with icosahedron vertex figures: This honeycomb is a part of a sequence of regular polytopes and honeycombs with dodecahedral cells: The rectified order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb, , has alternating icosahedron and icosidodecahedron cells, with a
