This pyramidion sat on top of the so called Black Pyramid. As seen on this image, the rest of the pyramid has not fared equally well.
A rare, intact capstone of a pyramid, a pyramidion, dating back to the 19th century BC, during the reign of Amenemhat III.

Oh wow. That is really neat. I would love to go see the museums in Egypt. I saw the small mummy exhibit at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum and it was amazing.
