Pyramids of Egypt

To the ancient Egyptians, pyramids symbolized the rise of earth from the primeval, with its strong, solid base that rose to a single point. A dead pharaoh has thought to rise again in the same manner. The lines and triangles also invoked the sun's rays coming to earth. The pyramid finally represented the meeting of two worlds, the worlds of the living and the dead.
Social Meaning of Pyramids
-
Pyramids also symbolized integration and convergence. The Egyptian pyramids were built by thousands of people working toward a single goal. The organization needed for the integration of so many people performing such a wide range of tasks, including design and architecture, project management, unskilled labor, crafts and art is mind-boggling. As the task grew toward completion, the people of Egypt gained a symbol of their convergence. They were unified by the work they did together, and the giant pyramid was an imposing reminder of what they had accomplished and could accomplish as a country.

Other cultures besides the Egyptians see meaning in the shape of the pyramid. The shape itself is very strong, being primarily made of stable triangles, and it has itself become a symbol of stability. An inverted pyramid symbolized spiritual development, as an individual became more aware of the broadness and fullness of life and spirituality. Mathematicians and alchemists find significance in the ratios of the height to the base or the lengths of the diagonals, and they can use the pyramid to solve the problem of "squaring the circle." Other people see the four sides as representing the four elements (wind, fire, air, and water) converging to a single point.
Metaphysics of Crystal

The material used in a smaller pyramid, the kind to keep on one's desk or give as a gift, is usually glass, quartz, or some kind of crystal. Quartz is considered by some to be cleansing, absorbing negative energy from a room. Other crystals are popularly considered to have their own meanings. Amethyst can be used to fight addiction, and combined with the uplifting shape of a pyramid, it can be a powerful motivator to fight off addictive behavior. Rose quartz represents love, and in pyramid form it could invoke the strength and perseverance of true, lasting love or friendship.
Use of Crystal Pyramids in Business

Crystal pyramids given out as business awards are generally glass or flawless leaded crystal, engraved with the company or team name or the specific accomplishment for which a employee is being commended. The material symbolizes strength and stability, as does the shape. They can be given to employees like trophies and are often displayed as such. The pyramid not only looks dramatic and impressive on someone's desk, it can function as a paperweight.
