TheWoWDBMake sure you're showing [spell=195127] dig sites on your map(s), because by "survey the different areas around Suramar" - they mean Survey your dig sites in Suramar.
[item=134114] have a low drop rate from [npc=102777] AND regular digs/nodes.
While the drop chance appears to be higher from the NPC, it's by no means a guaranteed drop from either source (and might be impacted by your skill in Archaeology).

A World of Warcraft quest in Suramar. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
6 dig sites in and not a single jewel. This isn't worth the 5k gold vendor item -_-
The spirits do NOT always drop jewels. You can get jewels while picking up the artifacts too.
It seems to be a very low chance... After 12 dig sites im only up two... Where as my boyfriend has four...
Its 6 parts luck, one part chance and all work.

Then I believe it's clear what we must do next. Find the jewels. They're bound to be here somewhere in Suramar, so we better start looking. I'll coordinate the search from here, while you and my assistants look for the jewels.
