:) be nice. Some things are just plain river rocks, if you check some of the other posts there are links to local rock hound groups. This recent one has a very useful link for you to work through it yourself.

Doing what one should never do, and that is try to identify stones from pictures as it usually is impossible...

The white appear to be quartz rounded in a river. The dark? Unknown. If you say where you found them, that might give a hint. But it is pretty much improbable that we can ID them from a picture as they are rather uniform.
