They appear to be host rocks with what appears somewhat to be Alamandine Garnet attached. It is really hard to tell for sure from the pics!

Looks like jasper.

Looks like jasper.

That is what I first thought! However, the fractured crystal look of the one on the right in the top pic is why I wrote Almandine Garnet but I am still unsure due to the pics.

I dont know where you are from,,but the top pics look like a fossil I used to find in TN. Same colors and textures as those.

I don't see any structure for garnet and the luster does not appear to be crystalline enough. But yeah they could use a good cleaning for a better pic.

Any tips on how I shoud clean them. Would using a Dremel be a good or bad idea?
