Possiable meteorite's?

Hi, I've been searching the web about these meteors for a few months now and even if these aren't meteorites it still has me stumped as to what they might be. I also have more but I'm only going to post these 2 for now. I live in the Joshua/Fort Worth area and I'm aware that there was a fireball back in 2009 and small fragments were found in west Texas and I beileve the smaller one could have been from that but the other one I have no clue but it's really neat. Could maybe be a stony iron meteorite? Or a pallistite maybe? (Sry if spelt wrong)
the lil one I shaved a lil off and it has a red looking interior. And the other one there is no even trying to grind into it it has green and dark green gems or crystals embedded Into a grey exterior and you can clearly see the gems inside. I'm torn tho I thought maybe it could be slag with green slag glass but I don't think it is. Who knows. Any help would be much appreciated.

Photos 1, 2, 3, 6 are not meteorites. As stated, likely some form of conglomerate, which usually is cemented sandstone or other stone, compressed under pressure.

Photos 4 and 5: not certain. Could you show close-ups?
