The great pentagrammic hexecontahedron is a uniform dual polyhedron. It consists of 60 mirror-symmetric pentagrams.

It is the dual of the great inverted retrosnub icosidodecahedron.

Each pentagram has three long and two short edges; the ratio between them is given by $l={\frac {2-4\xi ^{2}}{1-2\xi }}\approx 1.77422$, where $\xi \approx 0.94673$, the largest positive root of the polynomial $8x^{3}-8x^{2}+\phi ^{-2}$, and $\phi$ is the golden ratio. (The long edges' length is approximately 3.06368 or a root of the polynomial $x^{6}-2x^{5}-4x^{4}+x^{3}+4x^{2}-1$, and the short edges' length is approximately 1.72678 or a root of the polynomial $31x^{6}-53x^{5}-26x^{4}+34x^{3}+17x^{2}-x-1$.)

Each face has four equal angles of $\arccos(\xi )\approx 18.78563^{\circ }$, and one angle of $\arccos(-\phi ^{-1}+\phi ^{-2}\xi )\approx 104.85746^{\circ }$.

A dihedral angle is equal to $\arccos \left({\frac {\xi }{\xi +1}}\right)\approx 60.90113^{\circ }$.

The inradius R ≈ 0.14897 of a great pentagrammic hexecontahedron with unit edge length is equal to the square root of a root of the polynomial $856064x^{6}-3900416x^{5}+1443072x^{4}-149376x^{3}+6384x^{2}-128x+1$.
