This uniform polyhedron compound is a symmetric arrangement of 6 decagrammic prisms, 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/√5), ±2τ⁻¹, ±√(τ⁻¹/√5))

(±(√(τ/√5)+τ⁻²), ±1, ±(√(τ⁻¹/√5)−τ⁻¹))

(±(√(τ/√5)−τ⁻¹), ±τ⁻², ±(√(τ⁻¹/√5)+1))

(±(√(τ/√5)+τ⁻¹), ±τ⁻², ±(√(τ⁻¹/√5)−1))

(±(√(τ/√5)−τ⁻²), ±1, ±(√(τ⁻¹/√5)+τ⁻¹))

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