The great rhombic triacontahedron can be constructed by expanding the size of the faces of a rhombic triacontahedron by
a factor of , where is the golden ratio (Kabai
2002, p. 183) and keeping the pieces illustrated in the above stellation diagram.
It appears together with an isometric projection of the 5-hypercube on the cover (and p. 103) of Coxeter's well-known book on polytopes (Coxeter
1973).
