In geometry, the small snub icosicosidodecahedron or snub disicosidodecahedron is a uniform star polyhedron, indexed as U32. It has 112 faces (100 triangles and 12 pentagrams), 180 edges, and 60 vertices. Its stellation core is a truncated pentakis dodecahedron. It also called a holosnub icosahedron, ß{3,5}.

Convex hull

Its convex hull is a nonuniform truncated icosahedron.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a small snub icosicosidodecahedron are all the even permutations of

(±½(−1/τ+(3τ−2)), 0, ±½(3+τ(3τ−2)))
(±½(1/τ+(3τ−2)), ±1, ±½(1+2/τ+τ(3τ−2)))
(±½(τ2+(3τ−2)), ±1/τ, ±½(1+τ(3τ−2)))

where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ).
