That Marble is most likely a Heaton or Alley Agate-1940's 1950's ish. It's called an opaque swirl or slag in todays nomenclature. It would have been called something more clever by the packaging company that was selling it. The marble was most likely sold in a bag (mesh or plastic) with about a dozen to twenty other mixed colors and a slightly larger "shooter"
