Cells	{3,4}
Faces	{3}
Edge figure	{6}
Vertex figure	{4,6} {(4,3,4)}
Dual	{6,4,3}
Coxeter group	[3,4,6] [3,((4,3,4))]
Properties	Regular

In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-6 octahedral honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {3,4,6}. It has six octahedra, {3,4}, around each edge. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with infinitely many octahedra existing around each vertex in an order-6 square tiling vertex arrangement.

It has a second construction as a uniform honeycomb, Schläfli symbol {3,(4,3,4)}, Coxeter diagram, , with alternating types or colors of octahedral cells. In Coxeter notation the half symmetry is [3,4,6,1⁺] = [3,((4,3,4))].

In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the infinite-order octahedral honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {3,4,∞}. It has infinitely many octahedra, {3,4}, around each edge. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with infinitely many octahedra existing around each vertex in an infinite-order square tiling vertex arrangement.

It has a second construction as a uniform honeycomb, Schläfli symbol {3,(4,∞,4)}, Coxeter diagram, = , with alternating types or colors of octahedral cells. In Coxeter notation the half symmetry is [3,4,∞,1⁺] = [3,((4,∞,4))].
