I would be guessing, but the first seems to be pegmatic. Are the darker crystals transparent or opaque? I would think probably Augite, Feldspar.

The second piece looks interesting, it could be rose quartz, but it reminds me of something else.

Both nice pieces.
 
Can you clean the first piece up? The lighter parts look like they have cleavage and by their crystalline structure you should be able to determine out what they could be, try mindat.org as a start. Dunno about the pink piece either but as a starter maybe quartz due to what looks like conchoidal fracture and work from there.
