500pF @ 10kV, not much thicker than that 25 cent piece...

Interesting.  Never seen one before.

Cool indeed.  I want some.  What is the ESR and where did you get it??

I found it in a junkbox at the recent Yuma hamfest.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone rating the ESR of a mica cap...not that you couldn't.

The website: http://www.customelec.com/products/capacitors/high-voltage-high-temperature-mica-capacitors

I don't think they are a bargain-priced device. :P
