A Spican flame gem is a type of gemstone, considered by some of low value. (TOS episode: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; DS9 episode: "Trials and Tribble-ations") Spican flame gems are also used in Spican flaming melon. In 2376, Quark added three flame gems to every melon served, hoping the guests knew not to eat them. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: This Gray Spirit) Jessica Silver often wore hoop earrings decorated with Spican flame gems. (SCE eBook: Breakdowns)

The system's primary was a B-class star. In 2378, Spica was listed as a Federation member.
