This is a highly unusual Peltier Rainbo, or it is a Kokomo.  

Typically Pelt Rainbos will have the ribbons change order on opposite sides.

 

On the top side in this view you have red on the left and white on the right.  So typically in a Peltier Rainbo, on the bottom side the white would be on the left, red on the right.

(I hate being the one to suggest Kokomo, because too many marbles get ID-ed as Kokomo, but the ribbon order is worth  discussing.)

Would get sorted as Pelt on my desk - but I also don't have a Kokomo bin

*makes note to go back and check ribbon order*

Thanks Steph!

Has the same top ribbon pattern where White meets White that clear based single color Pelts have here’s a pic from the Peltier site.

Same pattern?  Not sure where  you're going with the collage.  

Here's are some pix that Scott LeGrande took to illustrate the flip-flop that's typical of Pelt Rainbos with two ribbon colors:

Compare that to Leigh's marble:

The ribbons are different in length and width Leigh’s are high towards the pole and fatter. Steph’s pics show thinner ribbons that are lower towards the equator. So is this a trait of Kokomo? 

 

I think both Pelt and Kokomo can be pretty irregular in ribbon length and width.  And  I'm not saying Leigh's is a Kokomo.

I'm just saying that there's reason to go slow and consider.  Maybe it will turn out to be a Peltier.  If it is though, it's an unusual one.
