(0,0,12,17)-deltahedron consisting of 6 hexagonal modules (containing 2 spheres connected to 5 rods). It can also be seen as 3 pairs of back to back level-2 triangles with rows of triangles in between (like in a snub expanded polyhedra).
Another way of looking at this is the way the 12 spheres connected to 5 rods are distributed over the surface of the deltahedron in between the spheres that are connected to 6 rods. In this case they form 6 pairs.
It is completely rigid, and highly reminiscent of Alain Lobel's frames.
