From : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_icosahedron

The vertices of an icosahedron with edge-length 2, centered at the origin, are


where ϕ = (1 + √5) / 2  is the golden ratio (also written τ).

Note that these vertices form five sets of three concentric, mutually orthogonal
golden rectangles, whose edges form Borromean rings.

But I tend to be able to misread things rather well.   ;)
