The Rhombic Hexacontahedron

rhombic hexacontahedron

The rhombic hexacontahedron (sometimes spelled “hexecontahedron”) is one of many stellations of the rhombic triacontahedron. Its sixty faces, like the thirty faces of the rhombic triacontahedron, are golden rhombi — rhombi with diagonals in the golden ratio.
