Here is a compound of the
octahedron with its dual.

Multiple octahedra can be arranged in an intersecting manner to form
various compounds. Here is the best known one consisting
of 5 intersecting octahedra. It is also a
faceting of the
icosidodecahedron and a stellation
of the icosahedron.

The octahedron has one
stellation.
This is also a faceting of the cube and a
compound of two tetrahedra.
