Trigonal trapezohedron is one of two special case of the "trigonal trapezohedron" with golden rhombus faces. The "acute" or "prolate" form has three acute angles corners of the rhombic faces meeting at two polar axis vertices. The "obtuse" or "oblate" or "flat" form has three obtuse angle corners of the rhombic faces meeting at the two polar axis vertices. The rhombic hexecontahedron can be constructed by 20 "acute golden rhombohedra" meeting at a point. A regular octahedron augumented by 2 regular tetrahedra creates a "trigonal trapezohedron", with coplanar equilateral triangles merged into 60-degree rhombic faces.

Rhombic dodecahedron seen as the Voronoi tessellation of the face-centered cubic lattice. It is the Brillouin zone of body centered cubic (bcc) crystals. Some minerals such as garnet form a rhombic dodecahedral crystal habit. Honey bees use the geometry of rhombic dodecahedra to form honeycombs from a tessellation of cells each of which is a hexagonal prism capped with half a rhombic dodecahedron. The rhombic dodecahedron also appears in the unit cells of diamond and diamondoids. In these cases, four vertices (alternate threefold ones) are absent, but the chemical bonds lie on the remaining edges. The graph of the rhombic dodecahedron is
