"A Penrose tiling is a non-periodic tiling generated by an aperiodic set of prototiles named after Sir Roger Penrose, who investigated these sets in the 1970s. Because all tilings obtained with the Penrose tiles are non-periodic, Penrose tiles are considered aperiodic tiles. A Penrose tiling may be constructed so as to exhibit both reflection symmetry and fivefold rotational symmetry, as in the diagram at the right."[wikipedia]
And it can be a nice tiling if made in Second Life, over the water with a nice sky-preset.
There are two different rhombs in this tiling, each made by two triangles. My fullerene is behind, on left.
You can see it better in the following picture:
They are quite beautifull if you need a particular floor or ceiling... this is with some of my friends:
