I was thinking the same. It could also be yellow calcite.

I also think it's yellow calcite, sometimes called honeycomb calcite.

Yes, it could be calcite too...if it is it's a good piece, most calcite has some whitish streaking in it, that one looks very uniformally yellow.
Jade has a specific feel to it when you rub it kind of soapy, silky.

Looks exactly like a yellow agate. (Chalecedony quartz)

It looks like yellow jade to me.

another vote for yellow jade. it COULD be yellow chaceldony, but it just has a certain sheen to it that says jade.
