Name Waterman polyhedron number 8 wrt. face-centered cubic lattice A3 centered at a lattice point
 
    ©
Face vector 54, 120, 68

The unit here was chosen as the root of A3.

By the very definition of Waterman polyhedra, not necessarily all vertices are on the same sphere. In here the 6 maximal ones (black vertices) have a circumradius of sqrt(8) = 2.828427, while the other 48 vertices (blue ones) only are at an radius of sqrt(7) = 2.645751.


Incidence matrix according to Dynkin symbol
