Order-3-5 heptagonal honeycomb

In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-3-5 heptagonal honeycomb a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). Each infinite cell consists of a heptagonal tiling whose vertices lie on a 2-hypercycle, each of which has a limiting circle on the ideal sphere.
