It can be 2-fold covered to give the icosahedron.

It can be 2-split to give N10.4′.

It can be rectified to give the hemi-icosidodecahedron.

Its 2-hole derivative is N5:{5,5}.

Its full shuriken is N7:{6,4}.

Underlying Graph

Its skeleton is K₆.

Comments

If you take a hemi-icosahedron and glue another one to each face, and bend them round so that three meet at each edge, you will find that the 11 of them form a regular polytope, the 11-cell, Schläfli symbol {3,5,3}. Its rotational symmetry group is PSL(2,11). Do not try this at home – it is not possible while you are embedded in 3-space.
