Questions from a couple novices

While visiting one of the natural hot springs in Idaho, my wife and I found these at the bottom of one of the pools.
- What are they?
- Were these just dropped by someone or do they occur naturally in places like this?
- Are they even the same rock composition?
- Is it possible to have a rough/natural version of the specimen in the same general area as a smooth version?
One rock is obviously polished, but is it naturally worn down or was it smoothed by humans, like in a tumbler? Maybe over the eons they come tumbling down the tiny creeks from the rocky cliffs above and become smooth like the rocks in a river?
The other rock is natural and rough. They were not found together (maybe 20ft apart or so).
Any info would be appreciated. My wife and I are curious.
