If I recall correctly from my rockhounding days back in college (a bit over 40 years ago), the pink one is a chunk of Rose Quartz. The other appears to be Calcite crystals, which typically form in a limestone cave environment.

Rose quartz is something prospectors are thrilled to find. Its a good indicator that gold is nearby.

My 2 cents for the left one (tannish) is also calcite crystals as I have been in a cave full of them. It was about 2 miles of crawling through calcite and gypsum.
