The claim
Viral video shows ‘magic’ stone from Afghanistan’s Wardak province that can melt metal.
Original publisher’s rating
False. The nails shown in the video are likely made of gallium, which is a metal that melts at 29.76°C. This is also supported by the fact that steel or iron would glow red hot before melting.
