TheWoWDBStep by step how to get there if you're blonde like me -
1. Enter the tunnel and go straight. Get on your ground mount when you can.
2. Keep going straight until you come to a Y-shaped intersection. The left tunnel is half blocked by rocks.
3. Go right.
** BEWARE THE WORM (it won't really hurt you, but it will pick you up and carry you around until it dumps you in front of the blocked tunnel - you can avoid it by waiting for it to pass and riding after it, or ducking into an alcove on the side until it passes)
4. The tunnel opens into a large chamber with broken stone pillars and rocks, and several more tunnels.
5. Hug the right wall (easier to avoid worms).
6. Keep going right.
7. The tunnel opens into a square chamber with more tunnels.
8. Go right.
9. The crystal should be in the middle of the next room.
10. To get back out, turn around and keep going left.

Getting past the Colossal Gyreworm can be tricky.
But you can mount when you get to the place t's twirling around. There are little holes in the side, where you can hide while it passes by.So mount, run and hide.

What to do
Description
<The ground trembles slightly, and the low, familiar voice of Diamant speaks as if from the stone itself.> Well done, {race}. Within the tunnels below, you will find the stone which you seek. Painite. The dangers ahead are many... Dangers that the Stone Lords themselves fear. Remain steady. Remain strong. The strength of the rock itself is beneath your feet.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Violent Gale
There is a task that I can set before you. It is a dangerous task. Completing it will help impress the more stubborn Stone Lords. To the northwest is the Scoured Reach. Severe winds batter the rock and hide the true living threat underneath. Within the Scoured Reach are Gyreworms.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Rock Amongst Many
<The ground trembles slightly, and the low, familiar voice of Diamant speaks as if from the stone itself.> You've done as I've asked. Turn back and escape the cave in one piece. Don't forget the gemstone.
