African bloodstone, also known as Setonite, is made up of the following minerals: red jasper, grey chalcedony, and pyrite. 
 
Bloodstone is a type of jasper or chalcedony that is primarily made of chalcedony, a form of microcrystalline quartz. It also contains iron oxide and other minerals. The red spots in bloodstone are iron oxide, while the green color comes from chlorite or hornblende in the chalcedony. 
 
Bloodstone is formed deep within the Earth's mantle, where magma plays a key role in its creation. It is a hard stone that is difficult to scratch, and it has a slightly waxy appearance when polished. 
 
Bloodstone is also known as heliotrope, which comes from an ancient Greek word that means "to turn the sun".
