Is this the big one...?

I did. You seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that the periodic table allows for all possible elements, and that non naturally occurring elements (and isotopes thereof) at the higher atomic numbers must be unstable and radioactive. You're wrong on both counts.

The question was whether it's possible for there to be a new kind of rock, possibly containing compounds of/or elements that don't occur naturally on Earth, and don't appear in Earth's periodic table, elsewhere in the universe.

I reckon it is. But feel free to explain why I'm wrong, if I am. I love learning stuff.

The Periodic Table isn't "The Earth's Periodic Table" it applies to the Universe since the Universe originated from the same point. If it wasn't all made of the same "stuff" governed by the same Laws they wouldn't be Laws.
If you go to the Moon the Law of Gravity still applies. Moon rock is made of the same elements as Earth rock.
We can do spectral analysis of distant planets and they are made of the same elements.
