Octahedron 6-Compound


Octahedron6Compounds

There are a number of attractive polyhedron compounds consisting of six octahedra. The two illustrated above can be constructed as the duals of cube 6-compounds.

These compounds are implemented in the Wolfram Language as PolyhedronData[{"OctahedronSixCompound", n}] for n=1, 2.
