Chapel 9: variations
This chapel is similar to Chapel 9, but is made of 16 rhombicosidodecahedra joined by means of 75 octahedra (or triangular antiprisms) grouped three by three. The lower five rhombicosidodecahedra are reinforced, and rest on a base in the shape of a double-scale pentagonal prism.

- The geometry of the 11 rhombicosidodecahedra in the minor chapel matches that of the dwarf giant icosahedron after removing one of its vertices.
