Since Shoushan stone has many varieties,the identification and classification b ecomes a major problem.This paper studies the feasibility of using portable Raman spectrometer for detection of Shoushan stone.By using a homemade portable Raman spectrometer based on Czerny -Turner structure and TE cooled linear CCD detector,we test different kinds of Shoush an stones, discuss the attribution of the Raman peaks and classify the samples into two categories.The results show that the homemade portable Raman spectrometer can distinguish the m ain categories very well.By using a portable Raman device,Shoushan stones can be quickly detected a nd identified.
