In geometry, the great icosahedron is a Kepler-Poinsot solid. It is one of four concave regular polyhedra.
It is composed of 20 triangular faces, with five triangles meeting at each vertex in a pentagrammic sequence.
The 12 vertices match the locations for an icosahedron.
It is counted by Wenninger as model * and the 16th of 17 stellations of the icosahedron and 7th of 59 stellations by Coxeter.
