Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the cyclic permutations of

3, ±(τ−1−τ3), ±(τ+τ−13))
(±23, ±τ−1, ±τ)
(±(1+3), ±(1−τ3), ±(1+τ−13))
(±(τ−τ−13), ±3, ±(τ−13))
(±(1−τ−13), ±(1−3), ±(1+τ3))

where τ = (1+5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ).
