As abstract polytope gacid is isomorphic to cid, thereby replacing pentagrams by pentagons.

Looks like a compound of the great icosahedron (gike) and the small stellated dodecahedron (sissid), and indeed edges coincide by pairs, but vertices are identified. Note that without edge-doubling this would be a tetradic figure (type C).
