dodecahedral
Having twelve faces
Dodecahedral describes something having the shape of a dodecahedron—a three-dimensional figure with twelve flat faces.
In geometry, the regular dodecahedron has twelve pentagonal faces and is one of the five Platonic solids.
The word appears in crystallography, architecture, and gaming: dodecahedral dice, a dodecahedral molecular structure.
