I've been staring at the picture, if we regard the pearls as vertices the figure is what you get if you take the truncated icosahedron and truncate again at each vertex as far as the midpoint of each edge, making for a large number(60) of additional equilateral triangles, while still having 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. I don't know a name for the solid I am describing...You prefer to view each pearl as being the midpoint of an edge. | |

I would guess that a substantive (versus coincidental) answer might involve both representation theory and graph theory. The question is sufficiently clear to understand. I hope any other votes to close have a good and articulated reason. | |
