This is a guide for getting all of the stones of Barenziah in Skyrim and how to complete the No Stone Unturned quest. I have also made a video guide which you can find below to go along with this or as a standalone resource if that is more helpful.
Once you complete the quest you'll get the passive effect Prowler's Profit. It greatly increases the chance of finding multiple precious gems in chests, burial urns, corpses etc. Usually, one of these containers can yield about 2–4 gems of any type, and with high values.

Once inside of Ansilvund you'll need to go through to complete the objective in the Ansilvund Burial Chambers, and it will be on the table in the back of the final room. Next the Ghostblade and behind Fjori's ghost.

Going off the main corridor, follow a path on the right (before entering the large pool of water with one bandit). It is inside the bandit wizard's cavern, on a table near the alchemy lab.

You can find this one on the dresser in Astrid's room down the stairs and to the left of the entrance.

Once you get to a room containing a single bandit and several empty draugr sarcophagi, there is a locked door to the right. Inside of here you'll find the stone on a shelf to your right.
Location:
This stone will be at the end of the location on the altar in front of the Word Wall next to two dead bodies.

Location:
This one can be found after crossing the bridge, just before an area with a few impaled corpses and an arcane enchanter, take the path to the left and down into an area with an alchemy bench. The stone is on a shelf.
Location:
This one can be found on the desk in the last room, next to the final journal of Arondil.
Once you have all of the stones you can turn them into Vex with the Theives guild and she'll tell you that you'll need to find the actual crown of Barenziah. This is located in Tolvald's Cave.
The quest will give you a marker for the crown. It will be very deep inside Tolvald's Cave and you'll have to kill a lot of Falmer to reach it.
Once you get it and make it out of the cave you can turn it into Vex to complete the quest and get the Pilfer's Profit passive effect.
And there you go! All 24 of the stones of Barenziah and the No Stone Unturned quest completed. If you found the written guide helpful be sure to like/favorite it and drop some feedback down below.
