Geometry
 
 
-  The symmetry group of the tiling is *632 (p6m).
 -  All the internal angles of the constituent polygons are a multiple of 15°.
 -  Contains one regular 6-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 60°.
 -  Contains one regular 8-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 90°.
 -  There are three non-regular reflective tiles (including one kite).
 -  The tiling satisfies the interlace condition and has two finite interlaces and  no infinite interlace with straight cross-overs.
 -  The tiling is edge-to-edge.
 -  As drawn, contains about 152 polygons.
