黄龙玉最初人称黄蜡石。它有着田黄般的颜色、翡翠的硬度，硬度好、透度高、色彩鲜艳丰富。由于其产在龙陵，又以黄色为主色，故最终得名为黄龙玉。目前，从鉴赏角度可分为"原生黄龙玉"和"雕件黄龙玉"两种。
《珠宝玉石名称》国家标准(GB/T 16552-2010)2011年2月1日正式实施，标准中将国际标准的黄玉髓命名为黄龙玉。并且，不具有产地义。"本标准适用于珠宝玉石鉴定，文物，商贸，海关，保险，典当，资产评估以及科研教学，文献出版等领域
龙玉具有很高的硬度、极好的韧性、极好的油性(温润度极好)、丰富的颜色(尤其明黄色和正红色，可媲美顶级田黄和鸡血石)、致密的质地(种很好)、很好的水头(通透度优良)、美丽的光泽(如，凝胶状光泽'此光泽除了部分极品黄龙玉和少量顶级老坑玻璃种翡翠具备外，其它玉石由于硬度不够等因素，只能望洋兴叹了。'油脂光泽;蜡状光泽;玻璃光泽等;)，黄龙玉的这些特性、特质完全具备古人用来形容优秀玉石的"五德"、后来发展成为的"九德"以及最终的"十一德"。再加上资源的稀缺性，有理由相信在不久的将来黄龙玉的价值将会得到真正充分的体现。
在中华传统文化中，"黄如金、红如血、白如冰、乌如墨"，黄色在中国文化中为最尊贵和最神秘的色彩，为皇室与宗教专用。中国人一直致力于黄色玉石的寻觅，几千年来却一无所获，以至于田黄石一出世即被封为石帝，黄龙玉是继新疆和田玉、缅甸翡翠之后发现的优质的玉种，一种品质极高的玉种。其硬度堪比翡翠，其质地细腻且晶莹剔透，为皇家和显贵专宠，而田黄石一直未被称为玉，是因为其硬度远远低于传统意义上玉石的硬度，即要高于摩氏硬度5，而田黄的硬度只有2.5左右。因为它的出现弥补了从古至今缺少黄、红色玉种的缺憾，集富贵、图腾、华美于一身，尽显王者风范。"盛世兴，美玉出"，以黄、红两色为主色调，与国旗、国徽颜色不谋而合的黄龙玉惊艳问世，更有着特殊的象征意义，注定为华夏玉文化的发扬光大开辟一片新天地。黄龙玉的发现正填补了这一空白，圆了中国人万年的梦想。
黄龙玉继蓝田玉、南阳玉、和田玉、岫玉成为中国第五大玉种。

The hardness is comparable to that of jade, the Mo-style hardness is 6.5-7, the toughness is better than jade, and it is slightly lower than Hetian jade, so it is an excellent jade material suitable for sculpture. Since his discovery, Huanglongyu has won many awards such as the Chinese Jade Top Award for Tiangong Award and has gradually become known, loved, and collected by people. He has become one of the three hottest outstanding jade stones of the time, following Xinjiang Hetian Jade and Myanmar Jade.
