Given the appearance, it's likely a fragment of an igneous or metamorphic rock composed of multiple minerals. Without specific diagnostic features, it's difficult to give a common name other than 'crystalline rock fragment'. If pressed to guess based on the granular, somewhat light and dark speckled appearance, it could be a fragment of granite or a related intrusive igneous rock.
As a rock fragment, it does not have a single scientific mineral name; rather, it's a piece of a rock which is a combination of minerals. If it were granite, its main mineral composition would be quartz (SiO2), feldspar (e.g., KAlSi3O8 - orthoclase, (Na,Ca)(Al,Si)4O8 - plagioclase), and mica (e.g., KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH)2 - muscovite or K(Mg,Fe)3AlSi3O10(OH)2 - biotite), among others.
