This looks like Black Tahitian Moon Sand.

Which has proven to be fatal: http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-beginner-newt-salamander-axolotl-help-topics/f48-axolotls-ambystoma-mexicanum/f59-axolotl-tank-set-ups-filters-substrate/80274-warning-about-tahitian-moon-sand.html

The grains are too large and quite sharp and jagged. Go for fine sand which is not sharp and not proven to cause impaction. read this link for info on substrates: Caudata Culture Articles - Aquarium Substrates
