  The first aim of this paper is to construct a $13$-dimensional affine variety
$\mathscr{H}_{\mathbb{A}}^{13}$ related with
$\mathbb{P}^{2}\times\mathbb{P}^{2}$-fibration. It is well-known that the
affine cone of the Segre embedded $\mathbb{P}^{2}\times\mathbb{P}^{2}$ is
defined as the null loci of the so called $\sharp$-mapping of a 9-dimensional
nondegenerate quadratic Jordan algebra $J$ of a cubic form. Inspired with this
fact, we construct $\mathscr{H}_{\mathbb{A}}^{13}$ in the same way
coordinatizing $J$ with 8 parameters. We derive such a coordinatization of $J$
using fixed three complementary primitive idempotents and the associated Peirce
decomposition of $J$.
  The second aim of this paper is to construct complex prime $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano
$3$-folds of anti-canonical codimension 4 as weighted complete intersections of
appropriate weighted projectivizations of $\mathscr{H}_{\mathbb{A}}^{13}$ or
its subvarieties (possibly allowing some coordinates with weight $0$). The
affine variety $\mathscr{H}_{\mathbb{A}}^{13}$ and such weighted
projectivizations of $\mathscr{H}_{\mathbb{A}}^{13}$ are called key varieties
for prime $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano 3-folds. We show that a prime $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano
3-fold of genus $3$ with three $\frac{1}{2}(1,1,1)$-singularities belonging to
the class of No.5.4 as in [Tak1] is constructed from one weighted
projectivization of $\mathscr{H}_{\mathbb{A}}^{13}$ such that all the
coordinates have positive weights. Conversely, we also show that any such a
prime $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano 3-fold is obtained in this way. Moreover, relating
$\mathscr{H}_{\mathbb{A}}^{13}$ with the $C_{2}$-cluster variety constructed by
Coughlan and Ducat [CD1], we show that weighted projectivizations of
$\mathscr{H}_{\mathbb{A}}^{13}$ or its subvarieties are key varieties for prime
$\mathbb{Q}$-Fano 3-folds belonging to 108 classes in the online database
[GRDB].
