The Small Stellated Dodecahedron
A non-convex polyhedron bounded by twelve intersecting pentagrams; five meeting at each vertex.
The small stellated dodecahecahedron is one of the four Kepler-Poinsot Star Polyhedra, and is also the first stellation of the dodecahedron.

Edge ratios:
- `e/r = sqrt(10+2sqrt(5))`
- `e/rho = 1 + sqrt(5)`
- `e/R = sqrt( (10+2sqrt(5))/(5) )`
- `e/e_(12) = (3+sqrt(5))/2`
where `e` is the edge length, `r` is the in-radius, `rho` is the inter-radius, `R` is the circum-radius, and `e_(12)` is the edge of the inner dodecahedron.
