Yavari, Ordering and Disordering in Alloys, Elsevier Applied Science, page 498, A succession of 10 concentric icosidodecahedra centered at (0, 0, 0), forming a geometric sequence (the nᵗʰ one is τⁿ larger than the first one), is also put into evidence.”

“The edges of the octahedron form three squares; the edges of the cuboctahedron form four hexagons, and the edges of the icosidodecahedron form six decagons.”

“Thus, there is a star octahedron, three star dodecahedrons, and fifty-nine star icosidodecahedrons.”

“Polyhedrons include prisms; pyramids; the Platonic solids, including tetrahedrons, cubes, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons; the Archimedean solids, such as cuboctahedrons and icosidodecahedrons; and the Johnson solids, such as square pyramids and triangular cupolas (dome-shape).”
