Popis: Microsampling elemental analysis is widely used for gemstone and mineralogy traceability. Using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry combined with chemometrics, the contents of 56 elements in turquoise samples from 5 distinct producing areas in 3 nations were measured. An origin identification model for turquoise samples from various producing areas was established through random forest importance analysis, principal component analysis, and linear discriminant analysis. When combined with random forest importance screening, the traceability efficiency of principal component analysis is significantly improved. Moreover, by taking 48 elements as characteristic variables and introducing them into the discriminant model, a Fisher discriminant model for identifying the origin of turquoise was successfully established. The effective element fingerprint information of turquoise species is closely related to the species origin, and the accuracy of cross-validation reaches 99.5%, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed model for the identification of the origin of turquoise samples.
