These look similar to pink granite or marble found in the Adirondack streams here in New York.
I have no geology knowledge, just speculating!
Did you find these in water?

I found them by the river in Texas. They are really pretty. I cleaned them up and I love the designs. I have a batch of red rocks, then black rocks, the list goes on - but these are very unique in design to what I find. I have no idea. Thanks for looking. I ordered a book to help me identify some of the rocks I find. Love finding little things like this.

I found a pic of Jasper stone. It looks like it might be Jasper. Good I hope you do! I have a lot of fun with it. Happy hunting :)

My first thought it the same as Turkish. Hardness test will help. It does usually feel heavy for it's size to.
