A hexagonal dipyramid with two different turns per corner. A jumbling only puzzle.

This is the second out of a planned series of seven puzzles, called Mystic. All seven will implement the same jumbling only axis system: face turning hexagonal dipyramid. Each puzzle of the series introduces at least one piecetype that the previous puzzle did not have. The Mystic Charm implements the first 5 piecetypes (excluding the core).
The Mystic Charm is a jumbling puzzle. It has 12 faces and 12 different colours. Notice that the stickers on corresponding faces across the different Mystic Puzzles have the same colour. There are 61 pieces in the Mystic Charm, including the core. There are 6 different pieces, 2 of which have no corresponding piece on the Mystic Stone. These two new piecetypes must exist together mechanically, although a different exterior shape could reveal a different combination of pieces on the surface
Each of the 12 grips can reach 5 different jumbling stops, including the position they start in. These stops are approximately at 104.5�, 151.0�, 209.0�, and 255.5�, in addition to the natural stop at 0�. These angles can be expressed precisely as �acos(-1/4) and �acos(-7/8). This puzzle implements the first 2 layers of jumbling.
The Mystic Charm is significantly more difficult than the Mystic Stone (though it doesn't seem to be nearly as unapproachable as the Mystic Totem), and there is both overhang bandaging and some rare instances of internal bandaging present on the puzzle.
