Grand Antiprism - Vertex Figure

Vertex Figure

The vertex figure of the grand antiprism is a dissected regular icosahedron: a regular icosahedron with two vertices removed. In their place 8 triangles are replaced by a pair of trapezoids, edge lengths φ, 1, 1, 1 (where φ is the golden ratio), joined together along their edge of length φ, to give a tetradecahedron whose faces are the 2 trapezoids and the 12 remaining equilateral triangles.
