The petrial great icosahedron is a regular skew polyhedron and is the Petrie dual of the great icosahedron, so it shares its vertices and edges with the great icosahedron. It has an Euler characteristic of -12 and consists of 6 skew decagrams.

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

The vertices of a petrial icosahedron of edge length 1 centered at the origin are the same as the small stellated dodecahedron, its regiment colonel.

The rectification of the petrial icosahedron is the great dodecahemidodecahedron, which is uniform.
