Snub cube

The snub cube or snub cuboctahedron is an Archimedean solid, usually regarded as a truncated polyhedron[?] derived by truncating either a cube or an octahedron.

The snub cube has 38 faces, of which 6 are squares and the other 32 are equilateral triangles. It also has 60 edges, and 24 vertices. In three-dimensional space, it has two distinct forms, which are mirror images (or "enantiomorphs[?]") of each other. In higher-dimensional spaces, these are congruent.

The snub cube should not be confused with the truncated cube[?].
