The golden ratio, phi occurs many places in the platonic solids. The dihedral angle on the dodecahedron is 2*atan(phi), and the dihedral angle on the icosahedron is 2*atan(phi2) or 2*atan(phi + 1). The mid radius of the dodecahedron is similarly phi2/2 or (phi + 1)/2, and the mid radius on the icosahedron is phi/2. There are several other measures within Platonic solids which involve phi.

The Golden Ratio is a constant = [1 + sqrt(5)]/2. There is, therefore, no higher or lower Golden Ratio.
In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities.
A great many things have the golden ratio in them varying from things fabricated by humans such as architecture, the proportions of the sides of a book also fall into the golden ratio. The golden ratio also occurs naturally for example the spiral in the snail's shell falls into the golden ratio. Generally most man made things have the golden ratio in them as it has been found quite simply, to look good.
The Golden ratio = [1 + sqrt(5)]/2
