One neat thing about being a shapechanger is that if someday I happen to think "Hm, I wonder what it is like to be an octahedron?", I can just turn myself into an octahedron and find out.
(It turns out that being an octahedron isn't really all that interesting. But I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't tried.)
It has 8 regular triangular faces, 12 edges, and 6 vertices.

Don't forget that there's a game called OCTAHEDRON!! With an equally banger soundtrack!! Also the protagonist is octahedron-headed btw. They're a silly little (tm) guy.
Regular Icosahedron:
Platonic Solid
Regular
Dual of the Regular Dodecahedron
It has 20 regular triangular faces, 30 edges, and 12 vertices.
4 tiny tetrahedra friends (red, blue, yellow, green) and 1 octahedron guy (violet) make up the big tetrahedron squad (packed densely into a pretty nice tetrahedron glass cage):
(The octahedron guy is at the center of the friend group. Does it make them the mom friend?)
Release them from their glass cage and enjoy their company in the wild:
Here are the 5 members of the big tetrahedron squad, aligned into a fine line.
after years of not doing it, I’ve finally made a gemsona :3
idk if those pictures are different kinds of pyrite, but they’re all definitely pyrite. some are just iridescent like that.
though it’s definitely not my color, i LOVE pyrite for being able to form platonic solids. cubes are most common but these guys are a couple of octahedrons. they’re a lil special i love them.
silly guys bubby and coomer from hlvrai. please watch it. the pyrites are probably some sort of scientists i guess because these two have been living in my brain
bonus: my irl pyrite shaped into a stella octangula i love it i love it
