A 3d quasicrystal orthongonal projection of a , 120 side polygon casts a 2d penrose tile, Kites and Darts pattern. After the discovery of quasicrystals in 1984 a close resemblance was noted between the icosahedral quasicrystal and the 3D-Penrose pattern. By putting atoms at the vertices of a 3D-Penrose pattern one can obtain a Fourier Transform which explains very well the diffraction patterns of the found Al-Mn quasicrystal. #Islamic_art #pentagon #tessellation
