Let T be a skinny isosceles triangle with apex A.
Let the polyhedron P be the result of truncating [the product T x [0, 1] of T with the unit interval] by cutting off a neighborhood N of {A} x [0, 1], thereby creating a new face — a skinny rectangle R.
Then P has all 8 of its vertices on its circumsphere C. But clearly C would not touch the rectangle R if N is small enough.
