In geometry, the grand 600-cell or grand polytetrahedron is a regular star 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol {3, 3, 5/2}. It is one of 10 regular Schläfli-Hess polytopes. It is the only one with 600 cells.
It is one of four regular star 4-polytopes discovered by Ludwig Schläfli. It was named by John Horton Conway, extending the naming system by Arthur Cayley for the Kepler-Poinsot solids.
The grand 600-cell can be seen as the four-dimensional analogue of the great icosahedron (which in turn is analogous to the pentagram); both of these are the only regular n-dimensional star polytopes which are derived by performing stellational operations on the pentagonal polytope which has simplectic faces. It can be constructed analogously to the pentagram, its two-dimensional analogue, via the extension of said (n-1)-D simplex faces of the core nD polytope (tetrahedra for the grand 600-cell, equilateral triangles for the great icosahedron, and line segments for the pentagram) until the figure regains regular faces.
The Grand 600-cell is also dual to the great grand stellated 120-cell, mirroring the great icosahedron's duality with the great stellated dodecahedron (which in turn is also analogous to the pentagram); all of these are the final stellations of the n-dimensional "dodecahedral-type" pentagonal polytope.
