There is a dodecahedron with each of the twelve sides a rhombus - an
equilateral diamond.  This is the shape of the space occupied by a
sphere in a regular shifting closepack, I believe.  (The shape of
packed bubbles?)  This would be fine as a dice since it each face is
identical and bears the same relationship to its neighbours.
