A skewb in a convex but random shape with twelve sides.
Tony Fisher started making this transformation of a Mini Skewb shortly after making his Unique-2 in 2009 but didn't finish before 2012.
It's similar to the Golden Cube in several ways. Obviously there is the colouring and Skewb core. Also there is a "corner" that has no obvious correct orientation. This leads to parity problems. In addition, when solved the puzzle is actually a part turn away from a completed move. So, as with the Golden Cube this part turn must always be made (in either direction) before scrambling or at the end of a solve.
After trying some options Tony decided for all-golden stickers. Colouring sides differently makes the puzzle much easier so this was never going to be an option.
The name comes from the fact that it's a unique puzzle. There are no moulds so exactly reproducing it would be very difficult and because of it's mostly random shape it's highly unlikely anyone would have or will make the same thing by chance.
