Abstract
We use the symmetries of the tetrahedron, octahedron and icosahedron to construct local models for a harmonic 1-form or spinor in 3-dimensions near a singular point in its zero loci. The local models are harmonic 1-forms or spinors on that are homogeneous with respect to rescaling of with their zero locus consisting of four or more rays from the origin. The rays point from the origin to the vertices of a centered tetrahedron in one example; and they point from those of a centered octahedron and a centered icosahedron in two others.

Groups actions are corrected and more details are given about them. An appendix has been added proving that if Z has only 2 rays from the origin, then the rays are antipodal
