The Group 1 elements, the alkali metals, are so reactive that they have to be stored in oil; they will react explosively with water and since water is so prevalent in nature and the alkali metals are so unstable, you'd be very hard-pressed to find a naturally occurring sample. I urge you to go on YouTube and look up reactions of Group 1 metals reacting with water. It's quite amusing.
