Both of these sidequests remain open on my almost finished game. No gems, no malachite. I'll trawl maps endlessly to complete stuff, but if it's made almost impossible, why include these things at all?
Malachite and other valuables are not bound by region and therefore can drop everywhere.
Personally, I sold my Malachite multiple times (because is classified a valuable automatically) before realizing that's necessary for a quest.
Most of it I did receive in Emprise du Lion, fighting against Red Templar mobs.
