Tradescantia question

This was labelled with the 'Red Hill' label but may have been just a misplaced tag, and while it looks somewhat like T. zebrina, seems different. It also produces leaves with other variations. Does anyone know this one? Yale

T. zebrina is absolutely a succulent.

Yale, there are several cultivars out there with slightly different colors, variable in different amounts of light. EA is selling 'Red Hill' as a cultivar of T. zebrina but it seems to be T. cerinthoides, which that is definitely not, by either name. That's my fav look - when it looks like there's glitter inside the leaf. Not too much shade, or too much sun.
