Francium occurs naturally, although extremely rare. It can and is made in labs. Although it is considered a naturally occurring element, there is only about one ounce of it in the Earth's crust at any one time. Scientists reproduce it in labs so they can study it, ect. So little is known about Francium now; if we didn't reproduce it in labs we would know next to nothing about it.

What is a naturally occuring isotope?

It is an isotope that occurs in nature, and is not manmade. Isotopes, by the way, are atoms that have the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons. The atomic number is the same, but atomic weight (or mass) is different. For instance, Carbon can be Carbon 10, 11, 12, or 14. They are all carbon.
