There are several red flags on this one. The EGL grading, the 83.3% depth (this is huge), the small face up size and the symmetry of ‘good’ are all bad signs. Read up on cutting and what makes one stone brighter than another. It's hard to say much about the price because it will depend on the 'free' setting that you choose but you can probably do better on the stone.
