This polyhedron was found in 2005 by M. Green.

Because having axial heptagonal symmetry, the numeric values are much harder to derive algebraically. However the above given circumradius (and some further values too) get generally derived for [p,q,q]-acrohedra here by formula.

As abstract polyhedron gissicu is isomorphic to sissicu, thereby replacing small heptagrams {7/2} by heptagons {7} and the great heptagram {7/3} by a small heptagram {7/2}.

It happens that the vertices marked below by *, i.e. the 2 tropical vertex types in gissicu's axial orientation, allow for a vertex inscribed heptagonal antiprism.
