Dual polyhedron | great dodecahedron |

It is one of only five polyhedral compounds (along with the compound of six tetrahedra, the compound of two great dodecahedra, the compound of five great dodecahedra, and the compound of five small stellated dodecahedra) which is vertex-transitive and face-transitive but not edge-transitive.
Its convex hull is a nonuniform truncated octahedron.
