G♭dim

G♭1B♭♭♭3D♭♭♭5

Two minor thirds stacked. The fifth is diminished, so it cannot be dropped without losing the chord.

Written the other way round it is F♯dim — the same twelve keys on a piano, a different piece of notation.

What is true of it

G♭dim is G♭, B♭♭ and D♭♭ — 1, b3 and b5 counted from G♭.

B♭♭ and D♭♭ are double flats, and they have to be: every letter from G♭ upwards is used once, so the b3 cannot be written any other way.
