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 vectors are: "u"=(1,1,-1,-1), "v"=(-1,1,-1,1), "w"=(1,-1,-1,1). The rhombic dodecahedron forms the maximal cross-section of a 24-cell, and also forms the hull of its vertex-first parallel projection into three dimensions. The rhombic dodecahedron can be decomposed into six congruent (but non-regular) square dipyramids meeting at a single vertex in the center; these form the images of six pairs of the 24-cell's octahedral cells. The remaining 12 octahedral cells project onto the faces of the rhombic dodecahedron. The non-regularity of these images are due to projective distortion; the facets of the 24-cell are regular octahedra in 4-space. This decomposition gives an interesting method
