A very good picture would help, but it sounds like shed has cut of circulation for a couple weeks and allowed the tip of the tail to die. It's now dry and hard (dead) and the necrosis may spread. You should get it into a vet and get it amputated back to into the good tissue so it may heal and regrow before it's too late.

That is my opinion based on the information you have given.
