If it is a tantalum chip capacitor, then the stripe indicates *positive*.
Tantalum chip capacitors are usually a yellow-gold color. On normal
electrolytic caps, the stripe down the side indicates negative, but its
also marked "-".
If you have a couple of extra parts, wire two up in opposite directions
across a battery. The one that doesn't get hot / and / or blow is the
one with the correct polarity!
