Looking forward to learning. Any idea what this is? Found in Waukesha Wi in an old river bed at a construction site.

Looks like some kind of sedimentary rock with Chalcedony. Attachments:

last one for now. All of these were found at the same construction site. thanks for any input. I'm brand new at this and just working on learning rock identification. Found a lot of waxy type rocks that are red and yellow brown and red yellow brown combined. Think this is chalcedony, quartz with impurities that colors the stones. My understanding is that these are fairly common, but they look cool to me. Thanks. Attachments:

To me that stone looks as if it has gold fragments in it? The red could be iron ore. Did you find this stone in area where there is copper, iron ore or other volcanic rocks?
