Octahedral Lattice of Rhombic Triacontahedra

Rhombic triacontahedra make quite versatile building-blocks for creating clusters in the shapes of other polyhedra. In this image (created with software you can find at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php), a collection of them forms the overall shape of an octahedron.

Cluster of Octahedra

This cluster was formed by putting an octahedron of the same color on each face of the compound of five tetrahedra, seen in the previous post.

In the next post, each outermost face will be augmented with an icosahedron of the same color.
