Master gem IV rhombicuboctahedron
Above:Solved
The above is currently the only image for this item.
A truncated 6x6x6.

A Jing's pyraminx transformed into a cube is a skewb. By applying this concept to a Rubik's cube we get a skewb rhombic dodecahedron.
There is a gem V puzzle which is a truncated 4x4x4 skewb (F-skewb). After Ilya Toporgilka did this with a 4x4x4, he then made it based on a 6x6x6 truncation. This got him a master version of a truncated cuboctahedral analog of a gem 4. He skipped the 4 since it is a 4x4x4 cross cube turned into a rhombic dodecahedron and, unlike 5, there is only one version of it. The second variant of a master gem 4 rhombic cuboctahedron would be a 5x5x5 cross cube transformed into a rhombic dodecahedron and then truncated.
If a gem IV is a hybrid of a skewb hex and a dino cube, a master gem IV rhombic dodecahedron splits into 3 layers like a master skewb, this time a master skewb rhombic dodecahedron.
Ilya Toporgilka then made this version from a teraminx.
The resulting shape is a rhombic cuboctahedron, an archimedean solid.
