Rajpipla is both a town and a municipality in the Narmada district in Gujarat.

Agate fields derived from weathering of Deccan basalt.

For an article on carnelian mining here, see: The Carnelian Mines of Rajpipla

It would appear that the "Rajpipla" deposits may in fact be deposits around the village of Ratnapur, Bharuch District, where there are hundreds of agate pits and shafts.
