After stellating the snub cube many times (so many that I lost count), I ran into this two-part compound of irregular dodecahedra.
Like the snub cube this is derived from, this compound is chiral. Because of this, a four-part compound can be formed by combining this polyhedral compound with its mirror image.
I did all of this using a program called Stella 4d, which you can try for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
This is the first stellation of the snub cube, one of the Archimedean solids. I made this image using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
This polyhedron is the first stellation of the snub dodecahedron, which is one of the Archimedean solids. I made this with Stella 4d, which you can try for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

I stumbled upon these while playing with tetrahedral-symmetry alterations of a great rhombicuboctahedron, using Stella 4d. You can try this program for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
At first glance, the line segments in this tessellation might appear curved, but they are all perfectly straight.
