Tiger Tail is mined in Chihuahua, Mexico and is appropriately named for its striking patterns and colors, which resemble a tiger’s appearance. Amidst the bold burnt orange and yellow pattern there are pockets of hematite which when polished emit metallic flashes.  Veining and small yellow orbs add another level of interest to this jasper. This material rates 7 on the Moh’s scale and takes a nice polish.
