After adding two edges to complete the two triangles whose sides are adjacent to the hinge, we are left with a nonplanar quadrilateral and must choose one of its 2 diagonals as the last edge of the polyhedron.
One of them may be constructed by cutting off one of the 4 base corners of a square pyramid to create a new triangular face.
dipyramid becomes if you twist its upper pyramidal cone 1/2n of a turn with respect to the lower one: The intersection of the two "cones" becomes a solid whose faces are quadrilaterals [see figure at right].

Each face is kite-shaped; five of them meet at the same sharp corner (as at the top of the diagram in this row), and five at another equally sharp one; about halfway between them, a different group of three faces converges at each of ten blunter corners.
An extremely rare type of die, the d3 is essentially a rounded-off triangular prism, intended to be rolled like a rolling-pin style die.
The die is rounded-off at the edges to make it impossible for it to somehow land on the triangular sides, which makes it look a bit like a jewel.
