In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space , the order-5-6 hexagonal honeycomb (or 6,5,6 honeycomb ) is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb ) with Schläfli symbol {6,5,6}. It has six order-5 hexagonal tilings , {6,5}, around each edge. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with infinitely many hexagonal tilings existing around each vertex in an order-6 pentagonal tiling vertex arrangement .
It has a second construction as a uniform honeycomb, Schläfli symbol {6,(5,3,5)}, Coxeter diagram, , with alternating types or colors of cells. In Coxeter notation the half symmetry is [6,5,6,1+ ] = [6,((5,3,5))].
