Some details from Lee:
This family of design variations are all stellated variation of Stewart Coffin's "Jupiter" puzzle. In addition to the stellation itself, I've made some aesthetic tweaks to the shape of the pieces in order to give it an organic feeling, somewhat inspired by Ernst Haeckel's 1904 lithograph "Blastoidea" which depicts various members of the sea urchin family.
From a strictly geometric perspective, all 12 pieces of each version have the same 5-fold rotationally symmetric shape as each other. Assembly is tricky to figure out at first if you're not familiar with this kind of puzzle, yet it's not especially difficult to do once you've done it a few times. There are a few fun Ah-Ha moments in this process which include elements of sequence and dexterity challenges.
