I ended up getting it in my 4th Jar. (For OP's stats, I posted once in this thread stating I was 0-3 already)

Having read around this a bit, the picture is confusing. Some say it
only
drops if you have alchemy, some say it drops even if you do
not
have alchemy.
Does anyone have any
definitive
information to clear up this riddle of the sands once and for all?
If you visit the
Recipe: Vial of the Sands
page you will see that the item is listed as smart loot in the quick facts box in the upper right hand corner. Mousing over "Smart Loot" explains that this item only drops if you have the profession and have not already learned the recipe.
In other words, it will not drop for non-alchemists.

After six months of on-and-off grinding, I got it on my 13th jar. Oh be still my beating heart! Along the way, I picked up every Arch achievement, three of the Tol'Vir rares (sadly not including the mount), and all of the NE rares - including the doll. I also spent at least 50,000 gold buying hieroglyphics to solve faster. Yes, it would have been cheaper to buy the drake off the AH - but now I once again have every Alchemy recipe in game! Now I have to face the ugly choice of going back to grinding in hopes of getting the mount to drop - /sob /whimper.

525 Alchemy, 525 Archaeology. I still haven't gotten the recipe after opening 13 canopic jars.
But by digging solely on Kalimdor, I've gotten all of the night elf rares, all but one fossil rare, and all but one Tol'vir rare, plus a few dwarf and troll rares.
I've come to hate this profession, mostly because I can't seem to stop until I get that effing recipe.
Edit: FINALLY! Got the %#^#$%$%^ recipe on the 15th canopic jar. To all of you alchemists still trying for it,
Good Luck!
And to Parrky who posted just after me, I hate you.

2 jars so far, no recipe.
They really need to add more Tol'vir dig sites, in Silithus or something. It's so frustrating spending every dig site praying for a Tol'vir one next. Maybe we should be able to choose archaeological specializations to find more dig sites of a certain type or something...
