Last time I checked wax floats on water while stone does not.
Put it all into a bucket, fill it with water and skim the wax off the top.
Of course if they are all melted together you could remelt the whole mess and the stone should fall to the bottom.
If the stone is very small and stays suspended in the wax, pour it through a screen.
You could wash the sand and collect the water which comes off. Or soak the sand in a bowl of water. Then remove the sand. Maybe strain it in an old pair of tights. Then evaporate the water off and you will be left with the salt.
melt the wax
Melt the wax and use a net like substance to separate the wax and then wash the rice to remove the liquid wax stick to the rice

When you weather a crayon, the shavings typically change in size and shape due to the melting and reformation process. The heat causes the wax to soften, allowing the shavings to merge and reshape as they cool. Consequently, the final result often has a more uniform texture and appearance compared to the original shavings.
To separate rice from wax, you can use a process called solvent extraction. This involves dissolving the wax in a solvent that the rice does not dissolve in. Once the wax is dissolved, it can be separated from the rice by filtering or evaporating the solvent.
To separate paraffin wax from tar, you can use a method involving solvent extraction. First, heat the mixture to melt the paraffin wax, then add a non-polar solvent, such as hexane, which dissolves the wax but not the tar. After mixing, allow the mixture to cool, then filter to separate the solid tar from the solvent-wax solution. Finally, evaporate the solvent to recover the paraffin wax.
Normally this is only necessary either to recycle the wax as foundation or to use the wax for other products. First the honey is extracted by spinning it out, then the wax can be melted and filtered to remove any unwanted particles.
To separate the rice grains from the ball of wax, you can freeze the wax to make it brittle. Once the wax is frozen, you can break it apart easily and pick out the rice grains. Alternatively, you can heat the wax to melt it, allowing the rice grains to be easily separated from the liquid wax.
Just the fact that they were in the sun! The sun is HOT!! Are you serious? Heat. Chocolate chips also have a bit of wax in them to help them retain their shape (don't worry it's edible wax, won't harm you, and is in very small amounts). Wax melts in the heat. Sun causes heat. Therefore, your chocolate chips will melt.
One way to separate water from wax is through the process of distillation. By heating the mixture, the water will evaporate and can be collected, leaving the wax behind. Another method involves freezing the mixture, as water and wax have different freezing points, allowing them to be physically separated.
dissolve the sugar in water then filter to get the wax then boil off the water from the sugar
