Faces:8  (2 equilateral triangles + 6 mirror-symmetric pentagons)
Edges:18  (6 short + 6 medium + 6 long)
Symmetry:  3-fold Antiprismatic  (D3v)
(This interpretation uses an apex angle of 540/7 degrees and a truncation of 4/7)

(values below based on long edge length = 1)
Short Edge (6):  3/7    ≈0.42857142857142857143
Medium Edge (6):  root[343*(x^3)+196*(x^2)−224*x−64]    ≈0.71255977355283832060
Long Edge (6):  1
Volume:sqrt(root[1550515608655304256*(x^3)
