It's the casing of an LED.

First result for "Epoxy Lens" in google:

The epoxy lens has three major functions. First, it is designed to allow most of the light to escape from the semiconductor. Second, it focuses the light (view angle) and lastly, it protects the LED semiconductor from outside elements. The epoxy totally embeds the entire unit which makes the LED virtually indestructible. There are no loose or moving parts within the solid epoxy enclosure. Non-diffused lenses that do not have glass particles in the epoxy produce a narrow viewing angle of +/-12 degrees from the centre.

I'm going to take a wild guess, and say "epoxy".
Are you really this slow, or are you just putting it on?
