Polyhedra and polytopes25 of 113

Catalan solids

Eugène Catalan, 1865

The duals of the Archimedean solids: put a face where each corner was. Every face is the same, though no longer regular, so each one makes a fair die. The rhombic dodecahedron is the shape a honeycomb cell closes with.

Catalan = d (Archimedean): one face for each corner
