Is it a 3-terminal device? You may have to desolder it to find out. That also lets you poke around with the insides (hollow? layers?)

Probably a capacitor, either 2 terminal or 3 terminal. I was originally thinking GDT but it looks like even the SMD varieties are mostly cylindrical shaped rather than rectangular prism.
