Thirteen complete but overlapping icosahedral water clusters form this super-icosahedral structure (showing the tessellation ability) containing 1820 water molecules. I show the oxygen atoms only plus an outer shell of an additional 360 water molecules (185 KB).
These animations use Jmol: an open-source Java viewer for chemical structures in 3D. Use the mouse for control.
