Compound of six pentagrammic antiprisms

This uniform polyhedron compound is a chiral symmetric arrangement of 6 pentagrammic antiprisms, aligned with the axes of fivefold rotational symmetry of a dodecahedron.

Cartesian coordinates

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

(±(τ+√τ−1), ±τ−1, ±(−1+√τ)) (±√τ−1, ±2, ±√τ) (±(−τ+√τ−1), ±τ−1, ±(1+√τ)) (±(−1+√τ−1), ±(−τ), ±(τ−1+√τ)) (±(1+√τ−1), ±(−τ), ±(−τ−1+√τ))

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