- Any polyhedron having twelve plane faces
- In geometry, a dodecahedron (Greek u03B4u03C9u03B4u03B5u03BAu03ACu03B5u03B4u03C1u03BFu03BD, from u03B4u03CEu03B4u03B5u03BAu03B1 du014Ddeka "twelve" + u1F15u03B4u03C1u03B1 hu00E9dra "base", "seat" or "face") is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces. The most familiar dodecahedron is the regular dodecahedron, which is a Platonic solid. There are also three regular star dodecahedra, which are constructed as stellations of the convex form. All of these have icosahedral symmetry, order 120.
- (Dodecahedral) 12 faces, like garnet
- A dodecahedron has three regular pentagons at each corner
- A solid figure contained by 12 equal and equilateral triangles.
- (n) A regular Platonic polyhedron consisting of 20 vertices, connected by 30 edges to form 12 pentagonal faces.
- The geometric shape left-brained New Agers refer to as God in a polygon; see sacred geometry.
- 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.
- 3 dimensional geometric figure (a polyhedron) that is made up of 12 regular pentagons.
