The Skewb Diamond is a octahedral modification of the Skewb. The Skewb Diamond has 6 corners (corresponding to the centers of the Skewb) and 8 centers (corresponding to the corners of the Skewb). Therefore, it can be made by truncating each corner of a regular Skewb and extending each center into a square pyramid.
