The dark stain....I would suggest trying HG Oil and Stain remover poultice.  You can find it at www.stonecarecentral.com.  The wax in candles has oils in it and HG usually works great.  You have to apply it, use plastic wrap and tape it on...don't peek for 24 hours.  See if that helps.

Some candles have a scented thing in them that can cause discoloration. I had one of those oil defusers in my bathroom and it leaked...turned a spot in my jacuzzi tub purple! (Even though the oil was clear) I just wanted to give you all this little note about candles and fragrance oils, etc.  I am personally addicted to candles and such.  There are over 100 different types of wicks and seriously a lot of science goes into making these candles.  But the way they can possibly etch or discolor a surface is scary.  I did find that with one of my candle stains, I used a blade to get the wax off. It left a bit of a residue. I tried all sorts of things.  Then I tried just using an unused candle (same type of candle) to rub on it and it helped it go away.  Some substances will remove the same kind of substance.

Same thing applies to plumber's purple primer, nail polish and many other things.  Has the candle wax left a mark?

I just did one yesterday it was a dial dishsoap stain.  Came rite out just make sure you heat the stone slowly and the surrounding area.  Don’t isolate the heat in one area.

I need to clarify - candle wax is on the hearth not a coating.

Use a single edge razor and or a 4 incurred on a stick.
Use stripper for left over residue.
Peel it all off less messy and quick.

depends on the type of wax.  I would start with a stanard floor stripper and see what happens. If its expoxy or urethane the stanard stripper wont remove it
