How about if YOU do some research and give 10 mineral names and their composition with references?

minerals:
Minerals may be given names on the basis of some physical property or chemical aspect; or they may be named after a locality, a public figure, a mineralogist, or almost any other subject considered appropriate. Some examples of mineral names and their derivations are as follows: albite (NaAlSi3O8) from the Latin albus (white) in allusion to its color; rhondonite (MnSiO3) from the Greek rhodon (a rose) in allusion to its characteristically pink color; chromite (FeCr2O4) because of the presence of a large amount of chromium in the mineral; magnetite (Fe3O4) because of its magnetic properties; franklinite (ZnFe2O4) after Franklin, New Jersey, where it occurs as the dominant zinc mineral; sillimanite (Al2SiO2) after Professor Benjamin Silliman of Yale University.
