The great icosidodecahedron is a uniform star polyhedron. It has 32 faces (20 triangles, 12 pentagrams), 60 edges, and 30 vertices. It can be constructed through rectification of the great stellated dodecahedron or the great icosahedron. It shares its vertex arrangement with the icosidodecahedron, and its edge arrangement with the great icosihemidodecahedron and the great dodecahemidodecahedron. Its dual is the great rhombic triacontahedron.
