Living Leystone Sample is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 3 of 12 in the Legion Mining storyline. It rewards 6,150 experience.
This is no normal leystone. It is much livelier, shimmering in complex, enthralling patterns. It is easy to stare at.
Your trainer in Dalaran would certainly like to have a look at this.

If you are getting a "You don't meet the requirements for this quest", it's possible to mine this from a mob without having the actual Legion Mining skill. You get Legion Mining the first time you mine from a deposit.
Exit Thunder Totem to the north, run to about 53, 53 and kill Enraged Embershards. Remember to mine them (right click) after looting them - I got mine on the third kill. Enjoy!

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

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

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.

Ye've brought me a bit of interesting rocks to look at, <name>. I've got a special assignment for ye, if ye're up for it. I hear stories about these tauren, up in Highmountain, who claim mastery over minin'. I don't know if they're as talented as you or me, but they've been minin' leystone longer.
