The fatter rhombs {(r,R)2} have vertex angles r = arccos(1/3) = 70.528779° resp. R = arccos(-1/3) = 109.471221°. Esp. rr : RR = sqrt(2) = 1.414214.
The thinner rhombs {(r',R')2} have vertex angles r' = arccos[sqrt(5)/3] = 41.810315° resp. R' = arccos[-sqrt(5)/3] = 138.189685°. Esp. r'r' : R'R' = (3+sqrt(5))/2 = 2.618034.
Moreover the second pic above neatly displays the geometry of the 2 types of rhombs in relation to the ike, there being used as vertex representant.

All a, b, c, and d edges, provided in the below description, only qualify as pseudo edges wrt. the full polyhedron.
