Cartesian coordinates
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a great inverted snub icosidodecahedron are all the even permutations of
- (±2α, ±2, ±2β),
- (±(α−βτ−1/τ), ±(α/τ+β−τ), ±(−ατ−β/τ−1)),
- (±(ατ−β/τ+1), ±(−α−βτ+1/τ), ±(−α/τ+β+τ)),
- (±(ατ−β/τ−1), ±(α+βτ+1/τ), ±(−α/τ+β−τ)) and
- (±(α−βτ+1/τ), ±(−α/τ−β−τ), ±(−ατ−β/τ+1)),
with an even number of plus signs, where
- α = ξ−1/ξ
and
- β = −ξ/τ+1/τ2−1/(ξτ),
where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden mean and ξ is the greater positive real solution to ξ3−2ξ=−1/τ, or approximately 1.2224727. Taking the odd permutations of the above coordinates with an odd number of plus signs gives another form, the enantiomorph of the other one.

The great inverted pentagonal hexecontahedron (or petaloidal trisicosahedron) is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It is composed of 60 concave pentagonal faces, 150 edges and 92 vertices.
It is the dual of the uniform great inverted snub icosidodecahedron.
