Do you have a local feed store? Ours (ok, granted, we are in the back-woods behind the end of the earth) tends to carry some odd things such as gravel and grit.

Pet shops that sell fish and aquarium stuff is the best bet if you're in a city. They sell all kinds of grit and gravel for aquariums and most of it is just the right size.

On the other hand sharp sand is used in the building trade and is a rough sand product that is usually crushed rock. I used it under the stone walk way I did in the back yard.
