Don't buy something like this unless you can see it first.  A good
quality emerald sells for quite a bit more than this, so I would
expect it to either be a pretty poor stone, or something different
from what is advertised.  Since it comes from a fly-by-night type
of organization with no street front or store, once you pay the 
money, it is unlikely you will ever see any money back if you try
to return it.
