This seems to be a property of all old-god blood. Saronite isn't the only mineral said to be derived from the blood of an old god, but Bloodstone is, too. You can learn more about it in the hordeside quests that deal with Warden Belamoore and the Forsaken Defectors. This is especially notable due to various hints that there is an old god sleeping underneath Tirisfal Glades, or the inaccessable zone west of it. It is theorized that Kaja'mite, the mineral that altered the minds of goblins to make them more intelligent back when they were troll slaves (that also makes an appearance in the goblin start zone in Cataclysm) is also theorized to be the blood of an old god, as is the silithyst found in Silithus. Kajamite and Saronite both seem to have mind affecting properties, and it remains to be seen if that is a property of ALL old god blood.

You can see examples of Silithus like rocks inside the halls of stone, just before you fight Krystallus. They must be related!
