The Lunar-holed Rhombicosidodecahedron, Stewart's E5/6J91(P4).

This is a Rhombicosidodecahedron (called E5 by Johnson), with a 6-way hole through it made from Stewart's 6J91(P4), as described on pages 128-129 of Stewart's book (2nd ed.).

Stewart writes

It is unusual becuse each of the six openings is a lunar complex, rather than a single face, giving to the tunnels a novel, slit-like appearance.

By "lunar complex", Stewart is referring to a "lune", which Johnson defines to be: Lune

WARNING: The pentagons only barely almost-fit in the outer shell of this model. That's because you can't comfortably fit a Geomag pentagon panel into the base of a pentagonal pyramid -- the angles are too extreme. For the pictures I took, I only put in the 4 visible pentagons, and then didn't breathe too heavily as I took the pictures, lest they pop out. If you look carefully at the pictures, you may be able to see that the pentagons stick out more than they should.

Counts of Rods, Spheres, Panels

From the page on Stewart's 6J91(P4), The totals were:

24 × Geomag triangle panel icon 6 × Geomag square panel icon 24 × Geomag pentagon panel icon 120 × Geomag rod icon 56 × Geomag ball icon

The inner portion of a lune (inside the 6 outer rods and 6 spheres) is:

2 × Geomag triangle panel icon 1 × Geomag square panel icon 2 × Geomag rod icon

Subtracting 6 inner lune portions from the totals above gives the "6J91(P4) Hole Subtotal":

12 × Geomag triangle panel icon 0 × Geomag square panel icon 24 × Geomag pentagon panel icon 108 × Geomag rod icon 56 × Geomag ball icon

Now let's add the "alpha" parts (see Image #3 below) . We need to add just "top part" of the alpha: the clear panels and silver rods and central three spheres for each alpha. Each alpha resides above three pentagons of the 6J91(P4), and shares those pentagons with no other alpha. An alpha top part contains:

1 × Geomag triangle panel icon 3 × Geomag square panel icon 9 × Geomag rod icon 3 × Geomag ball icon

How many alpha top parts need to be added? Each alpha separately covers 3 pentagons, and the 6J91(P4) has 24 pentagons. Therefore 24/3 = 8 alpha top parts must be required.

Additionally, 12 pentagons (representing the pentagonal pyramid in Image #3 below) must be added.

Therefore, the overall total must be the "6J91(P4) Hole Subtotal" plus 8 alpha top parts and plus 12 pentagons:

20 × Geomag triangle panel icon 24 × Geomag square panel icon 36 × Geomag pentagon panel icon 180 × Geomag rod icon 80 × Geomag ball icon
