Twelve sided polyhedron; all sides are equidimensional and either rhombic or pentagonal. If the dodecahedron is composed of rhombs, it is known as a rhombic dodecahedron, or simply as a dodecahedron. If it is composed of pentagons, it is known as a pentagonal dodecahedron or pyritohedron. Minerals shaped as dodecahedrons belong to the isometric system. Minerals with this property are described as dodecahedral.

It is a term given to twelve sided polyhedron where all the sides are equidimensional and either rhombic or pentagonal. If composed of rhombs, is known as a rhombic dodecahedron or just dodecahedron and known as pentagonal dodecahedron if composed of pentagons. Minerals shaped such belongs to the isometric system.

A twelve-sided solid, with each side being five-sided or pentagonal. One of the " platonic primitives" Aladdin4D can generate. Dodecahedron

A Platonic solid consisting of twelve pentagonal faces, 30 edges, and 20 vertices.
Helpful?           0
One of the seven basic forms in the highest symmetry ("hexoctahedral") class of the cubic, or isometric, crystal system. It has 12 rhomb-shaped faces, each of which intersects two of the crystallographic axes and is parallel to the third. This form is uncommon in gem diamonds.
Helpful?           0
Solid figure comprised of 12 adjoining plane surfaces.

A dodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve faces, but usually a regular dodecahedron is meant: a Platonic solid composed of twelve regular pentagonal faces, with three meeting at each vertex. It has twenty vertices and thirty edges. Its dual polyhedron is the icosahedron.
