A Polyhedral Cage Which Includes the Dodecahedron, the Icosahedron, and the Rhombic Triacontahedron

The dodecahedron’s edges pass through the purple squares (edge midpoints) and red hexagons (vertices), and have blue decagons above their pentagonal face-centers. The blue decagons’ centers also mark the vertices of the triangular faces of the icosahedron, each of which has a purple square as a side-midpoint, and a red hexagon over its face-center. The rhombic triacontahedron’s faces have blue decagons at the vertex of each acute angle, and red hexagons at the obtuse angle vertices, with purple squares above the rhombic faces’ centers.

I used Stella 4d to make this image, and you can find that program at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
