Regular icosahedra and dodecahedra are special forms of both icosahedral point groups, 235 and m35. Instead, one must try to imagine the effect of filling the space with a latticework of dodecahedra, each having 12 pentagonal faces (see cover). Promising also is the dominance of octahedra above dodecahedra diamond forms, pointing to little resorption. |
