The hexagonal tegum, also called a hexagonal bipyramid, is a tegum with a hexagon as the midsection, constructed as the dual of a hexagonal prism. It has 12 isosceles triangles as faces, with 2 order–6 and 6 order–4 vertices. .

In the variant obtained as the dual of a uniform hexagonal prism, the side edges are exactly 2 times the length of the edges of the base hexagon. Each face has apex angle $\arccos \left({\frac {7}{8}}\right)\approx 28.95502^{\circ }$ and base angles $\arccos \left({\frac {1}{4}}\right)\approx 75.52249^{\circ }$. If the base hexagon has edge length 1, its height is $2{\sqrt {3}}\approx 3.46410$.
