The study is aimed to analize the spectral characteristics of igneous and sedimentary rocks in their reflectance curves obtained from CARY 17-D Spectrophotometer, and correlation between chemical complsition and HHRR data. The reflectance is higher in acidic igneous rocks, while lower in basic igneous rocks. Especially acidic plutonic rocks show sharp absorption bands at 1.4 and 1.9 $mu extrm{m}$ due to water inclusion in felsic minerals and basic rocks a broad absoption band near 1.mu.m due to Fe$^{++}$ ion in mafic minerals. Sandstones generally have higher reflectance than siltstones and shales, and show strong absorption at 1.4 and 1.9 $mu extrm{m}$. Arkosic sandstones have lower reflectance at blue band due to Fe$^{+++}$ ion exsolved from feldspars. The HHRR data have a positive correlation with SiO$_2$ and $K_2$O, while they have a negative correlation with FeO and MgO.
