A large icosahedron made up of 42 smaller icosahedrons, each composed of 132 neomagnet 5mm balls, for a total of about 5500 magnets. It was interesting to me to discover that the icosahedron will tessellate like this along its edges to form a bigger version of itself. This is also an instance of the fractal property of quasi (or partial) self-similarity.
