In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-3-8 hexagonal honeycomb or (6,3,8 honeycomb) is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {6,3,8}. It has eight hexagonal tilings, {6,3}, around each edge. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with infinitely many hexagonal tilings existing around each vertex in an order-8 triangular tiling vertex arrangement.
