Well - today's industry can produce virtually any element at any degree of purity. So I guess it's more accurate to talk about the substances that occur naturally.
On a separate note, Anthony Pun did a great job here explaining allotropes.
So, I'll try to answer the following question - what substances composed of single kind of atoms do occur naturally on earth and are fairly stable under normal conditions?
This wiki article provides good info -
Here's the list -
Gold, silver, platinum, copper - occur naturally as nuggets
Carbon - diamond, graphite, charcoal left from wood fires.
Sulfur - condensed from volcanic fumes
Silicon and a number of metals - see the link above - found in pure form much less commonly.
