Dear Monica:
When I hear the words acid (and muriatic of all acids) and natural stone in the same sentence, I get goosebumps!… At any rate the damage is done.
As for the waxy mark, try to remove with a potent paint stripper based on Methylene Chloride. As a first approach you will try just scrubbing it using a natural fiber laundry brush. If after several attempts that won't work, the only alternative would be to use the same stripper in a poultice. All this hoping that the muriatic acid did not alter the makeup of the wax permanently.
May I ask you now to please read and e-sign our Statement of Purpose at: http://www.marblecleaning.org/purpose.htm?
Ciao and good luck,
