The Chang’e-6 (CE-6) mission returned the first farside lunar soil samples which are of great importance to understand the geological diversity and evolutionary history of the Moon. In this study, we employed a Raman-based automated particle analysis system to investigate the grain size and mineral composition of the CE-6 soil, which are compared with results of the nearside Chang’e-5 (CE-5) soil. Our analyses reveal that the CE-6 soil exhibit small grain size (mean = 4.4 μm) as the CE-5 soil, but markedly higher glass content (37.8 vs. 8.3 vol%), slightly higher plagioclase abundance (39.0 vs. 37.5 vol%), and lower pyroxene (18.4 vs. 39.4 vol%) and olivine (2.3 vs. 9.8 vol%) content. Raman spectroscopic analysis further reveals a marked magnesium enrichment in CE-6 olivines (most grains with Fo of 40-90) compared to their CE-5 counterparts (most Fo < 60). Notably, evident compositional zonation in olivine (Fo of 66 to 47) is observed for a CE-6 lithic clast, which likely represents ejected crustal material with complex magmatic interactions. These findings support that the CE-6 scooped soil contains substantial non-mare components that is limited in the CE-5 sample. Given very low olivine abundance in the CE-6 landing site basalt, the wide range of olivine Fo in CE-6 soil reflects the contribution of olivine-bearing, mafic crustal lithologies such as magnesian-suite and ferroan anorthosite or even of material from the lunar mantle. This study highlights the capability of non-destructive, rapid and simultaneous determination of particle size and mineral composition with Raman-based analytical techniques, which enables direct analyses of complex soil samples and provides new insights into the mineral compositions of landing site basalts and also non-mare ejecta of the near and far sides of the Moon.
