This is the thrid stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron. Its facelets are 24 rhombi and 24 “chevron” hexagons. Here’s another view, colored by individual face, with parallel faces having the same color.
Finally, here’s one in “rainbow color mode.”
I made these images using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, which you can try for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
In the image above, the icosidodecahedron’s final stellation is colored by face type. In the one below, I used “rainbow color mode.” Both were made using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

The yellow component of this compound is the small stellated dodecahedron. As for the blue component, I’m not sure what it’s called. I made this using Stella 4d, which you can try for free right here.

In this first image of the final stellation of the icosahedron, the faces are colored with a different color for each face, except for parallel faces, which are the same color.
The next image uses red and yellow to color the facelets by type.
Finally, the third image simply uses rainbow color mode.

This is the compound of two tetrahedra, also known as Johannes Kepler’s Stella Octangula.
I found the five variations of this polyhedral compound shown below, located deep within the stellation-series of the great rhombicuboctahedron.

Here’s the pentagonal icositetrahedron. It is the dual of the snub cube.
And here is its third stellation. As you can see, it’s a compound of two irregular dodecahedra.
