I'm at 3/12 atma now and all 3 came from NM fates and also within 5-20mins of entering that area. I've also spent hours in a single area and got nothing for it.
The strat i'm using now is to spend 30mins in an area and if nothing drops i change area. I'll see how it goes.
Probably just coincidence, because some people have gained the same Atma crystal multiple times in the same area within one hour, and others from other zones shortly after.

I'm pretty sure by now that it's a flat percentile chance on every FATE, for instance 5%. If you're unlucky, you can do FATEs for 20 hours straight and the RNG never rolls 95 or higher for you, so you never get any. While someone else just gets lucky rolls with the RNG and gets a lot quickly. I'm just making these numbers up, but a 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 chance of any FATE giving you an Atma crystal might account for the luck (or bad luck) people are getting with this system.
