HyperbolicDodecahedron

A hyperbolic version of the Euclidean dodecahedron.

Hyperbolic three-space can be tessellated with hyperbolic dodecahedra whose intermediate dihedral angles are 60, 72, or 90 degrees.

A decorated hyperbolic dodecahedron has been used as the logo for Mathematica since Version 2.
