Great Rhombic Triacontahedron


GreatRhombicTriacontahedronGreatRhombicTriacontahedronWireframe

The great rhombic triacontahedron, also called the great stellated triacontahedron, is a zonohedron which is the dual of the great icosidodecahedron and Wenninger model W_(94). It is one of the rhombic triacontahedron stellations.

It appears together with an isometric projection of the 5-hypercube on the cover (and p. 103) of Coxeter's well-known book on polytopes (Coxeter 1973).

GreatRhombicTriacontahedronStellation

The great rhombic triacontahedron can be constructed by expanding the size of the faces of a rhombic triacontahedron by a factor of phi^3=1+2phi, where phi is the golden ratio (Kabai 2002, p. 183) and keeping the pieces illustrated in the above stellation diagram.
