Can be farmed from the stone elementals in northen silithus. But as someone mentioned regarding the essence of air (which can be farmed from air elementals at the same place) everyone is there farming theese things. So visit off-peak hours or be prepared to fight for your right (to party!).
I found it much easier to run through MC.
I don't know how readable this will be but here's a little diagram of the transmute circle that is possible with elemental essences. The main circle is Earth to Water to Air to Fire and back to Earth. The two branches are Life to Earth to Life and Water to Undeath to Water.
