Great dodecahemidodecahedron
Encyclopedia
In geometry
, the great dodecahemidodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron
, indexed as U70. Its vertex figure
is a crossed quadrilateral.
It is the only nonconvex uniform polyhedron
whose faces are all non-convex regular polygons (star polygons), namely the star polygons {5/2} and {10/3}.
It is a hemipolyhedron
with 6 decagrammic faces passing through the model center.
is the icosidodecahedron
. It also shares its edge arrangement with the great icosidodecahedron (having the pentagrammic faces in common), and with the great icosihemidodecahedron
(having the decagrammic faces in common).

Hemipolyhedron
In geometry, a hemipolyhedron is a uniform star polyhedron some of whose faces pass through its center. These "hemi" faces lie parallel to the faces of some other symmetrical polyhedron, and their count is half the number of faces of that other polyhedron - hence the "hemi" prefix.The prefix "hemi"...
