Polyhedra - Models, etc.

   

Aluminum octahedron
$6.00
Solid aluminum octahedron, approximately 3/4" (19 mm) face-to-face. Made in South Korea.

   

Aluminum dodecahedron
$6.00
Solid aluminum dodecahedron, approximately 1" (25 mm) in diameter. Made in South Korea.

   

Quartz Crystal Dodecahedron
$29.95
Beautiful natural quartz dodecahedron (12 faces, each a pentagon), hand cut and polished. Interior crystalline features are visible in most of these. Since they are natural and hand made, the appearance varies somewhat from crystal to crystal. Approximately 1-3/8" (35 mm) in diameter. Made in Brazil.

Quartz Crystal Icosahedron lg.
$39.95
Beautiful natural quartz dodecahedron (20 faces, each an equilateral triangle), hand cut and polished. Interior crystalline features are visible in most of these. Since they are natural and hand made, the appearance varies somewhat from crystal to crystal. Approximately 1-5/8" (42 mm) in diameter. Made in Brazil.

Obsidian Platonic Solids
$79.95
Cut and polished black obsidian Platonic solids. The cube measures 4 cm face to face. Note the edges of the tetrahedron and four of the edges of the octahedron are slightly beveled. In addition, there may be very small chips at some of the edges and corners, as well as small inaccuracies in the shapes. The reflective black surfaces are quite striking, though.

   

Quartz Crystal Platonic Solids
$12.95
Beautiful natural quartz Platonic Solids set, hand cut and polished. The cube measures approximately 1/2" (13 mm) on a side. Note that the octahedra in these sets are somewhat shorter along one axis than the other two. Includes velvet bag. Made in Brazil.

Jumbo Blank Platonic Solids
$14.95
*** Not Currently Available ***
Set of five jumbo blank dice: d4, d6, d8, d12, and d20, the five Platonic Solids. Approximate diameter 1". Only available in white.

Quartz Dodecahedron Pendant
$5.00
Cut and polished rose quartz dodecahedron pendant, with silver attachment. Measures approximately 14 mm face to face.

   

Natural Pyrite Dodecahedron
$44.95
Large (approximately 20 mm face to face) natural (not cut) pyrite dodecahedron. Pyrite more commonly forms cubic crystals. Dodecahedra this large are relatively rare. Even an ideal pyritohedron is not a regular dodecahedron, but these natural ones have faces that deviate quite a bit from regular pentagons, as well as some small bits of other orientations.

   

Pyrite Cube
$6.95
Beautiful natural pyrite crystal cube, approximately 0.8" on a side. Since these are natural crystals, the appearance and dimensions vary somewhat from crystal to crystal. Mined in Spain.

Black Obsidian Sphere
$19.95
Polished black obsidian sphere, 6 cm (2.4") in diameter.

   

Black Obsidian Pyramid
$19.95
Cut and polished black obsidian square-based pyramid. Base measures 7 cm (2-3/4") on a side.

   
Geoballs
$24.95
Geoballs is a cut and scored kit that allows the construction of 18 different polyhedra from card stock. No glue or tape is needed; a locking tab-and-slot system is used. These models bring together two ancient geometric disciplines: the study of Platonic and Archimedean solids, and traditional Islamic patterns.

Captured Worlds
$12.95
Captured Worlds is a set of five pop-out, glue, and fold-up polyhedra. The five used in Captured Worlds are known as the Platonic Solids. They are decorated with fanciful scenes rendered in six-point perspective by internationally-known artist Dick Termes. This unique perspective system allows an entire three-dimensional surrounding to be projected onto the polyhedra. Ages 13 to adult.

Shapes of Constant Width
$29.95
No matter how you rotate a circle, it’s width will always stay the same. But if you thought this property was unique to circles, then these shapes of constant width will blow your mind. Just like a circle, each of these four acrylic shapes will roll smoothly between, for example, two wooden rulers. Includes color instructions and a cloth storage bag.

   

Solids of Constant Width
$29.95
*** Not available at the time ***
The 3D version of the shapes of constant width. Like a sphere, these solids of constant width have the same "diameter" in any direction. Set a book, for example, on three of them, and you can roll it around smoothly. The set consists of three plastic solids known as Meissner Tetrahedra, as well as color instructions and a cloth storage bag.

   

Ball of Fire
$15.95
The "Ball of Fire" is a foam polyhedral sculpture designed by Eve Torrence. The kit contains 12 parts plus instructions. Assembly requires no glue or other materials. A video demonstration of the product is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPQWaVElAgQ.
