Hello, these are called bamboo tubes and can be bought for pretty cheap from China.
I've achieved a similar effect with dyed ultracal 30 but hydrostone should work as well, both available on amazon or your local ceramics store. Make sure to make your mixture a bit thicker, maybe around milkshake consistency, it would need time to firm up a little bit before you can start dumping sand layers lest the sand just sink in.
Here's a quick drawing to illustrate the process.
