If you're blind like I was, go in the cave behind the quest giver until the end of the cave ledge. Take a right and follow the bridge down. At the end of the bridge, look right at another, smaller purple crystal. Behind the crystal is a switch on the ground. Flip the switch and you're done.
The entrance to the mine is right behind the quest giver.

Description
Burrowing native creatures known as "goren" have tunneled into our crystal mines. Judging from our experience at the gates, I suspect my own experimental resonance crystal is whipping the native wildlife into a frenzy. Enter the Elodor Dig to the north and disable the malfunctioning resonance crystal! Be careful - my earthworkers report that the mine is crawling with those beasts.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Traitor's True Name
We must give the traitor no place to hide. I have a focusing lens that will illuminate cloaked fel energy. If it were placed on a high point, it could act like a beacon, lighting up anyone in town who reeks of the fel taint.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Trust No One
Nothing is the same since I returned. There is always whispering - everywhere, whispering. Maraad cannot see it, but there are even traces of fel energy here in Elodor. We have been infiltrated! I must attend to the Exarch Council, but I need you to investigate.
