It's a Navarre Horizontal Swirl.

It's a typical Conqueror with a "V"-shaped patch but not a fancy or exotic, and while the OP marble is a Vitro, it's not a typical Conqueror - looks like a variation on the theme though.
-
It's definitely cool looking. Do you know who made it?
-
I agree, the sulfide looks real to me too - what size is it?
-
Thanks for playing whack-a-bot Chad!

It is pretty difficult to find a comprehensive list but there is a pretty good one at the Marble Collector's Society of America.

Does the base glow green under UV?
-
Could be one of a few different makers IMO.
-
Not entirely sure but it's giving me a Vacor vibe.
-
Not as common as Bumble Bees but I don't think they are too HTF.

Wow that marble's all kinds of messed up - looks really cool though. It's not a Cornhusk. It looks like some sort of banded swirl with some serious glass composition issues. It's interesting how that "mosaic fracturing" pattern seems restricted to specific areas of the marble - almost like "bands" of fractures. Crazy.

I think the color combo is pretty typical it just looks like the white ribbons are submerged under base glass a in some spots.
-
I think that is called a Gray Bee.

Jeff makes good points and I considered CAC too. But when it came down to it, I just didn't like the way the yellow striping appears to bleed white, seen best in the last photo. But then, there is a lot about this marble that is atypical so . . . ? -
I do not own one of these so I am not sure. I just remembered seeing one when I was looking at tiddley winks games at some point in the past. The thing I remember most is thinking to myself, "How in the world would you flip a wink into one of those depressions"!? Here is a link to an old Ebay listing that has much better photos, including instructions.

Are these marbles for sure not one iota over 1/2"?
-
My best guess is Jackson.
-
My first impression is Vitro.

Welcome to the Marble Connection. I do not think it is a Peltier. It strikes me as modern - perhaps a Vacor with some fortuitous aventurine.

Spotted Dicks are not glass. Your marble impresses me as a modern, perhaps Chinese.
