A 15-odd-limit dekany. This creates a scale of 1 13/12 11/9 5/4 143/108 13/9 55/36 5/3 65/36 11/6 2/1, with steps of 13/12 44/39 45/44 143/135 14/13 55/52 12/11 13/12 66/65 12/11. This has three notes with perfect fifths above them, each with a 5-limit major or minor third as well, plus imperfect fifths both above and below the root note, giving it plenty of interesting consonances both familiar and xenharmonic, although it does have more tiny steps than is optimal for a scale of this size.
