      P. McMullen has pointed out to the author that he has constructed an interesting equifacetted 3-sphere in his Ph.D.Thesis by starting with the 600-cell.
    • 2005, Lawrence B. Crowell, Quantum Fluctuations of Spacetime, volume 25, World Scientific Series in Contemporary Chemical Physics, page 329:
      The dual to the 120-cell is the 600-cell. The 600-cell is a 4-dimensional convex regular polytope with 600 facets. Its Schläfli symbol of the 600-cell is {3, 3, 5}. It is a 4-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron, constructed by the golden ratio on the edges of an octohedron.
    • 2012, John Barnes, Gems of Geometry, 2nd edition, page 79:
      The other two figures are the 120-cell and 600-cell which form a dual pair as is clear from their Schläfli symbols being the reverse of each other.
