A Natural Occurrence is a quest for level 30-35. It rewards 4,800 experience and money.
This Elemental Shard is all that is left from the rift that stood here before. The connection between the shard and the rift is unknown, but perhaps someone more versed in the elements would know more.
Seek out an Earthen Ring Emissary in any capital city. This could be exactly what they are looking for.

I was very confused as to why an elemental rift that is supposed to be part of the Cataclysm of Azeroth spawned in Outland. When I completed the quest, the NPC explained that elemental rifts in Outland are to be outright expected sometimes, but that it's a mystery why they are showing up in Azeroth, and the the Outland shard will help explain why. Nice to see quest makers make an explanation so the lore is not damaged.
From what I've seen, they're pretty much all neutral to players (But NPCs around will always engage them, even the elemental ones- I saw Fire Elemental NPCs in Searing Gorge fighting the Fire ones from the rift, lul)
Although if you get hit by the random aoes flying about (they do them even out of combat) they will aggro you even if you don't do a thing to them.
Check whether you have already completed it in-game: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(25571))

I saw fire elementals from the rift fighting the fire elementals in Searing Gorge too. I got a laugh out of the fact that their entire combat consisted of "Immune" over and over again. Can't win that fight.
