Is there a reason you don't want oiling?
I just ask because it is so common that it assumed that an emerald will be oiled. When the miners collect the rough they normally have a little bag/bottle of oil and all the stones are tossed in there as a matter of course so it has probably been exposed to oil at some point anyway.
Personally I don't have a problem with fillers either - they don't actually need to be disclosed either - IIRC Opticon is the exception. I certainly wouldn't pay the premium for untreated.
