The pentakis snub dodecahedron is a convex polyhedron with 140 triangular faces, 210 edges, and 72 vertices. It has chiral icosahedral symmetry. Construction It comes from a topological construction from the snub dodecahedron with the kis operator applied to the pentagonal faces. In this construction, all the faces ar...
