No, it's actually brilliant cut!
As to 10x versus 20X magnification, there is a good reason to use a 10x loupe to examine a stone-- you will be able to see inclusions in any part of the stone. Ironically, with 20x, you may miss seeing inclusions that are there because the depth of field is less. In fact, beware if a seller tries to get you to examine a stone with greater than 10x magnification-- they may be hoping you will not see the inclusions.
