That's alright, we're here to learn. I think it is a Vitro Tiger Eye Type 3.

If it was a Tiger Eye it would be a Type IV - Type III are veneered on a transparent base.

But FWIW, I think it's a new style All Red and not a Tiger Eye - the red is just more orange on this one.

It doesn't look that the base is opaque so it will not be a Type 4, so All Red sounds right.

You're confusing me. This marble has an opaque base and so do Type IV Tiger Eyes and All Reds, including this one.

It looks transluscent (or see-through) to me somehow. I get confused with Vitros, I'm sorry.

No need to be sorry. It does look like there might be a little bit of clear streaking in the white base. But if the base itself was transparent it would be more obvious - you would likely see it looking like clear lines between the patches and ribbons, and backlighting would surely tell the tale.
