Polyhedron sources
  1. Truncated tetrahedron: definition reference · 12 vertices, 18 edges, 8 faces
  2. Cuboctahedron: definition reference · 12 vertices, 24 edges, 14 faces
  3. Truncated cube: definition reference · 24 vertices, 36 edges, 14 faces
  4. Truncated octahedron: definition reference · 24 vertices, 36 edges, 14 faces
  5. Rhombicuboctahedron: definition reference · 24 vertices, 48 edges, 26 faces
  6. Truncated cuboctahedron: definition reference · 48 vertices, 72 edges, 26 faces
  7. Snub cube: definition reference · 24 vertices, 60 edges, 38 faces · One enantiomer, never mirrored: even permutations of (±1, ±1/t, ±t) with an even number of plus signs and odd permutations with an odd number of plus signs, t the tribonacci constant; its mirror image is the same favorite.
  8. Icosidodecahedron: definition reference · 30 vertices, 60 edges, 32 faces
  9. Truncated dodecahedron: definition reference · 60 vertices, 90 edges, 32 faces
  10. Truncated icosahedron: definition reference · 60 vertices, 90 edges, 32 faces
  11. Rhombicosidodecahedron: definition reference · 60 vertices, 120 edges, 62 faces
  12. Truncated icosidodecahedron: definition reference · 120 vertices, 180 edges, 62 faces
  13. Snub dodecahedron: definition reference · 60 vertices, 150 edges, 92 faces · One enantiomer, never mirrored: the icosahedral rotation orbit of the point inside the spherical triangle spanned by the axes (0, 1, φ), (1, 1, 1) and (1, 1 + φ, φ) that is equidistant from its images under 72° about the first, 120° about the second and 180° about the third; its mirror image is the same favorite.
