Setting Moon Sand on fire will give you cool Magenta Fire, as you already understood. Now mining moon sand will eventually grant you with crystals, that are pretty useful in different craft recipes, especially to craft Enderite Equipment, Size Manipulation Wands and Fate Arrows. Or else you just can smelt it to tinted glass:
