Rectified 24-cell honeycomb

In four-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the rectified 24-cell honeycomb is a uniform space-filling honeycomb. It is constructed by a rectification of the regular 24-cell honeycomb, containing tesseract and rectified 24-cell cells.

Symmetry constructions

There are five different symmetry constructions of this tessellation. Each symmetry can be represented by different arrangements of colored rectified 24-cell and tesseract facets. The tetrahedral prism vertex figure contains 4 rectified 24-cells capped by two opposite tesseracts.
