Geometry
- The symmetry group of the tiling is *632 (p6m).
- All the internal angles of the constituent polygons are a multiple of 5°.
- Contains two regular two-pointed star polygons with vertex angle of 30°.
- Contains one regular hexagon.
- Contains one regular 24-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 30°.
- There are 14 non-regular reflective tiles (including 3 kites) and one reflective pair.
- The tiling satisfies the two-colour condition with straight cross-overs, but interlace counts not determined.
- The tiling is edge-to-edge.
- As drawn, contains about 1131 polygons.
