The ruby crystal clusters are found at the end of dead end tunnels. Clicking them will spawn a level 83 Enormous Gyreworm with 107k HP that will drop the quest item when killed.
It appears that there is a chance of either having this daily, Underground Economy, or Lost in the Deeps. If one of these is available one day, the others aren't.

Description
Among the other precious gemstones hidden deep out of our reach in the Crumbling Depths, there are enormous ruby crystal clusters. They are infused with terrible energy. It will not be easy to obtain such a thing, for they are well guarded. But you, you are stubborn and brave. I think this is something you can do. Within the Crumbling Depths, look to where the tunnels end abruptly in stone. The clusters are found in those passages when they are to be found at all. Should you find one, return to me.
