A Truncated Icosahedron with Sixty Extra Hexagons

A Truncated Icosahedron with Sixty Extra Hexagons

I created this using Stella 4d, which is available (including a free trial download) at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php. With adjustments in edge lengths to make the bond lengths correct, this would be the shape of a C180 fullerene molecule.

If the thirty-two faces of the truncated icosahedron are hidden, and only the sixty extra hexagons are visible, this polyhedron looks like this:

Dual of Geodesic Trunc Icosa

In “rainbow color mode,” it has an even more interesting appearance:
