This is one of three leystone sample quests that can be turned in to Mama Diggs. The other two are Leystone Seam Sample and Living Leystone Sample. Once all three leystone samples have been turned in, Mama Diggs will provide The Highmountain Tauren.
The felslate sample counterpart is Felslate Deposit Sample. Likewise, there are also sample quests for felslate seams and living felslate (Felslate Seam Sample and Living Felslate Sample). Once all three felslate samples have been turned in, Mama Diggs will provide The Felsmiths.

Ironically, the comment "so light" followed by "reminds me of elementium" is (assuming the NPC doesn't mean only by appearance), completely wrong.
Elementium lore-wise is known for being EXTREMELY heavy.

Description
This ore looks like nothing you've seen before. A mystical sheen moves through the metal in complex, unpredictable patterns. Your trainer in Dalaran would certainly like to see this.

Where this quest fits
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Leystone Seam Sample
This ore has clearly absorbed some of the latent ley energies within the Broken Isles. It is cool to the touch, and reflects light in odd, playful angles. Your trainer in Dalaran should analyze this.
