Properties
Regular
In the geometry of hyperbolic 4-space , the order-5 icosahedral 120-cell honeycomb is one of four regular star-honeycombs . With Schläfli symbol {3,5,5/2,5}, it has five icosahedral 120-cells around each face. It is dual to the great 120-cell honeycomb .
It can be constructed by replacing the great dodecahedral cells of the great 120-cell honeycomb with their icosahedral convex hulls, thus replacing the great 120-cells with icosahedral 120-cells . It is thus analogous to the four-dimensional icosahedral 120-cell . It has density 10.
