sand cleaning need help please

I had live sand that I had to clean because I had to break the tank down. Now I cleaned it very throughly a week or so ago and I left it outside on a sunny day spread out on a plastic sheet then I put it in a bucket. now the top was very dry and the bottom was just a little damp. my question is is this sand ok to use.

Thanks Gus
