Small stellated dodecahedron composed by twelve pentagrammic faces with five pentagrams meeting at each vertex.

Polyhedron with twelve pentagrammic faces with five pentagrams meeting at each vertex. It has thirty edges and twelve vertices. It is a Kepler-Poinsot polyhedron, one of the four non-convex regular polyhedra.

The surface area of a small stellated dodecahedron with edge length a is given by the formula:

\text{Surface area}=15a^2 \sqrt{5+2\sqrt{5}}

The volume of a small stellated dodecahedron with edge length a is given by the formula:

\text{Volume}=\frac{5}{4} a^3 \left(7+3\sqrt{5}\right)
