You are right, the bottom piece is a small part of a Geode. The other two are Quartz but the one in the middle pic was tumbled in a stream for a very long time. The orangish/brown on both is from Iron deposits in the area. If you are in an area known for Gold, pieces like the piece in the top pic is what you are wanting to see!

Your item in the second photo somewhat resembles a gastrolith, (dinosaur gizzard stone).





If you can find more in the immediate area that look the same (they may not be all the same size), it is likely that it is a gastrolith.
