Quartz or Feldspar probaly
 
Looks like a garnet porphyroblast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphyroblast.
Why garnet? - red, commonly found, hexagonal outline.

This is just my guess though, my credentials are "I've taken first year geology at university".

Can you take it to a mineral shop for confirmation?
 
Did you get that from George Lucas?
