The pyramids are among the most recognizable symbols of ancient Egypt, representing their beliefs, capabilities and the power of the pharaohs. We know little about the actual purpose of pyramids and the circumstances surrounding their construction, but this only adds to the allure of these mysterious monuments that have stood the test of time. The pyramid can be placed on top of your desk, in a room, on a night stand, or on any other area that you feel needs a boost of the crystal's healing energies. You can also place an amethyst pyramid next to you when you meditate or sleep. Amethyst is a stone of the spirit. In general, the beautiful purple color of this crystal is the color of the spirit and spirituality. It is also a crystal of protection, selflessness, nobleness, spiritual consciousness, meditativeness, balance and inner peace.
