In [1] and [2], there was given a characterization for linear Jordan matrix algebras whose coordinatizing ring is *-prime Goldie or a Cayley-Dickson ring (C-D ring). If one considers the corresponding question in the more general setting of quadratic Jordan algebra as defined by McCrimmon in [11], then the result is similar. In this latter case the ample quadratic Jordan algebras, as studied by Montgomery in [12] and [13], are brought into play.
