A golden rhombohedron is a trigonal trapezohedron (and therefore rhombohedron with
congruent rhombic faces) whose faces consist of six equal golden
rhombi. There are two distinct golden rhombohedra:
an acute one and an obtuse one.
The obtuse golden rhombohedron is a zonohedron and one of the five golden isozonohedra. It is
implemented in the Wolfram Language
as PolyhedronData["ObtuseGoldenRhombohedron"].
A net of the obtuse golden rhombohedron is illustrated above.
