First hand info. Sand is not a problem. I had 2 kilos in my carry-on and they just asked what it is and let me pass.

Just put some sand in a double ziplock bag and put it in your suitcase and be done with it. No one is going to care.

This. Though the double bagging is just to protect suitcase contents. Mrs. Deubster has a shelf in her "home office" that has a dozen or more small decorative bottles with labels indicating which beach the sand came from. We've brought it home from Hawaii, the Caribbean, Europe, and several spots on all 3 US coasts without incident or fuss from TSA.

Don't do it in Sardinia or risk arrest. They are afraid of losing all their sand.
