Compound of six pentagonal prisms
Type Uniform compound
Index UC34
Polyhedra 6 pentagonal prisms
Faces 12 pentagons,
30 squares
Edges 90
Vertices 60
Symmetry group chiral icosahedral (I)
Subgroup restricting to one constituent 5-fold dihedral (D5)

This uniform polyhedron compound is a chiral symmetric arrangement of 6 pentagonal prisms, aligned with the axes of fivefold rotational symmetry of a dodecahedron.

This compound shares its vertex arrangement with four uniform polyhedra as follows:


Nonconvex great rhombicosidodecahedron

Great dodecicosidodecahedron

Great rhombidodecahedron

Truncated great dodecahedron

Compound of six pentagonal prisms

Compound of twelve pentagonal prisms
