The 12-faced convex deltahedra also known as the Siamese dodecahedron, which is also Johnson solid .
It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as PolyhedronData["SnubDisphenoid"].
The coordinates of the polyhedron vertices of a snub disphenoid of unit side length may be found by solving the set of four simultaneous equations
