This depends on the composition of the individual grain (which will effect it's density) and also on the size of the grain.
Geologists and civil engineers split sand into 3 grades, from course (0.6 - 2 mm diameter), through medium (0.2 - 0.6 mm diameter) to fine (0.06 - 0.2 mm).
As such sand is defined based on the size of the grains, not necessarily their composition. Sand grain composition can vary significantly however by far the most common mineral forming sand is quartz. Quartz has a density of 2650 kg / m cubed.
As such a quartz sand grain may weigh as little as 0.007 grams and as much as 8 grams.

How many quarks in a grain of sand?
There are 3 quarks in each neutron. There are 12 neutrons in each proton. There is 1 proton in each atom. There is 36 quarks in each atom. There are about 27 million atoms in each grain of sand. 36 x 27,000,000 = 972,000,000. There are 972 million quarks in a grain of sand.
