The order-6 dodecahedral honeycomb is a paracompact regular tiling of 3D hyperbolic space. 6 ideal dodecahedra meet at each edge. All vertices are ideal points at infinity, with infinitely many dodecahedra meeting at each vertex in a triangular tiling arrangement.

Representations[edit | edit source]

An order-6 dodecahedral honeycomb has the followig Coxeter diagrams:

  • x5o3o6o () (full symmetry)
  • x5o3o3o3*b () (dodecahedra of two different types)
