The faces of this are twelve interpenetrating regular pentagons, and twenty 6/2-gons (a type of star hexagon that looks like a radiation symbol).
This was created using software, Stella 4d, which you can find and try at http://www.software3d.com/stella.php.

Speculation About a Zonish Polyhedron

If the longer hexagon/octagon sides were all shortened, could this become nearly regular, thus qualifying it to join the “near-misses?” As it is, those long edges are too long to call it by that term, but perhaps this can be fixed.
