Is that the actual picture of the diamond? Doesn't look like it. Do you have an ideal scope image? We'd need to see that in order to give you an opinion. The numbers look good though.

Typically, I have seen the experts in this forum suggest an optimal crown angle of 34.0-35.0 degrees to get a good balance of contrast, scintillation and fire. The crown angle on this diamond is 32.5 and is considered too shallow by many people and will result in a heavier emphasis on scintillation and will not provide much fire (from what I've read).

It may be a nice stone, but you can probably find one with a better balance of these performance traits.

Post your budget and general constraints and you will probably get a few suggestions for other stones.
