Compound of five truncated tetrahedra

This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of 5 truncated tetrahedra, formed by truncating each of the tetrahedra in the compound of 5 tetrahedra. A far-enough truncation creates the Compound of five octahedra. Its convex hull is a nonuniform Snub dodecahedron.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the cyclic permutations of

(±1, ±1, ±3) (±τ−1, ±(−τ−2), ±2τ) (±τ, ±(−2τ−1), ±τ2) (±τ2, ±(−τ−2), ±2) (±(2τ−1), ±1, ±(2τ−1))

with an even number of minuses in the choices for '±', where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ).
