Abstract: Scheelite is a common accessory mineral in all kinds of deposits. The analysis of its rare earth element (REE) and the standardized distribution patterns can provide important discrimination basis for the evolution of ore-forming fluids. Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) in situ analysis of REE in scheelite was conducted by taking the samples from the two typical deposits in Northeast China, Yangjingou hydrothermal vein deposit and Yangbishan Skarn deposit. The REE distribution curves obtained by LA-ICP-MS of Yangbishan scheelite is completely consistent with the results obtained by the traditional solution-ICP-MS analysis, which show that using 193 nm ArF laser with denudation frequency of 7 Hz and denudation spot of 44 μm, the NIST 610 as the external standard and Ca as the internal standard element, the method is proved to be feasible with the least effective matrix and the reliable obtained data. The results of Yangjingou scheelite solution-ICP-MS and LA-ICP-MS analysis have similarities and differences, while the REE distribution patterns in different mineral particles and different parts of the same mineral of Yangbishan scheelite is consistent. The result is that Yangbishan scheelite is of skarn-type with small size, and short-term formation; while Yangbishan scheelite is of hydrothermal vein type with large grain size, and long-term precipitation and crystallization. Based on the above comparative study, the LA-ICP-MS in situ analysis method has obvious advantages over traditional solution-ICP-MS analysis method, in aspect of sampling, testing process, and data accuracy. The advantages mainly display in that the simple sample form, low requirements in particle size and content, short test period, low cost, and high precision results, at the same time the contents of REE are obtained under the fine determination for different ore-forming stages or in a different part of scheelite, more detailed and accurate data information can be obtained at a higher spatial resolution. In addition, in the process of LA-ICP-MS in situ analysis of scheelite (especially those without obvious zonation), the content of Ca can be accurately determined by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) or directly calculated by standard chemical formula. The data obtained from the analysis also can be reasonably geologically interpreted.
