A very large number if the rock forming minerals allow the transmission of light if sliced thinly enough. Some others are translucent at larger scale for example quartz and calcite. However in most rocks the size of the clasts or crystals is too small or the presence of gas inclusions or other elements causes them to become coloured, cloudy or otherwise opaque.
It is possible that it may be possible to see through a pegmatite (pegmatites are a rare type of very coarsely crystalline intrusive igneous rock) if the crystals are large enough.
As such in the vast majority of cases naturally occurring rocks are opaque and can not be seen through.

Is skin of drum transparent translucent or opaque?
Translucent. Transparent means you can see through it, like glass. Opaque means you can't see through it at all, like brick walls. Translucent means that some light can pass through it, but you can't actually see what's on the other side. If you held a flashlight underneath a drum, you'd be able to see the light through the skin, but you couldn't actually see what was in there.
