Diamond has an interesting structure. There are at least three space-filling shapes to be found within it.

(It was a lot of fun making this video in Sketchup. My daughter (who, being 10, watches a lot of youtube and is thus an expert) said that I sound awful but hey, I uploaded it anyway. Oh, and she thinks that 'Triakis Truncated Tetrahedron' is much too long a name and it should be called the 'Tetriakon' - what do you think?)

I like "Tetriakon" -- it's a catchy name. Great video, thanks for posting it.
