Three pipes intruding Archean granite and migmatite in the vicinity of Wajrakarur are referred to in literature as kimberlites, but Reddy (1987) proposed that one of these is lamproitic. This pipe is boomerang-shaped with the longest dimensions of ca. 350 m.

The Wajrakarur Kimberlite Field or (WKF) covers an area of approximately 120 × 60 kms.

WKF contains around 31 kimberlite intrusions distributed in five clusters:
(1) Wajrakarur: (7 pipes; P-1, P-2, P-6, P-10, P-11, P-12 and P-15),
(2) Lattavaram: (7 pipes; P-3, P-4, P-5, P-7, P-8, P-9, P-13),
(3) Chigicherla: (5 pipes; CC1–CC5),
(4) Kalyandurg: (6 pipes; KL-1 to KL-6) and
(5) Timmasamudram (6 pipes; TK-1 to TK-6).
