In geometry, the great stellated truncated dodecahedron (or quasitruncated great stellated dodecahedron or great stellatruncated dodecahedron) is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U66. It has 32 faces (20 triangles and 12 decagrams), 90 edges, and 60 vertices.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mathconsult.ch/static/unipoly/66.html|title=66: great stellated truncated dodecahedron|last=Maeder|first=Roman|date=|website=MathConsult|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}} It is given a Schläfli symbol {{math|t0,1{5/3,3}.}}

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a great stellated truncated dodecahedron are all the even permutations of

\begin{array}{crclc}

\Bigl(& 0,& \pm\,\varphi,& \pm \bigl[2-\frac{1}{\varphi}\bigr] &\Bigr) \\

\Bigl(& \pm\,\varphi,& \pm\,\frac{1}{\varphi},& \pm\,\frac{2}{\varphi} &\Bigr) \\

\Bigl(& \pm\,\frac{1}{\varphi^2},& \pm\,\frac{1}{\varphi},& \pm\,2 &\Bigr)

\end{array}

where \varphi = \tfrac{1+\sqrt 5}{2} is the golden ratio.
