A346721 Use the cells of a hexagonal grid to represent the algebraic integers in the integer ring of Q(sqrt(-7)), as explained in the comments. Number the cells along the counterclockwise hexagonal spiral that starts with cells 0 and 1 representing integers 0 and 1. List the cells that represent 0 or a prime in the ring.
0, 2, 3, 5, 6, 11, 17, 19, 21, 23, 28, 30, 32, 45, 47, 57, 59, 61, 63, 65, 67, 69, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 103, 107, 121, 125, 127, 129, 131, 135, 137, 139, 148, 150, 152, 156, 158, 160, 187, 189, 211, 213

Examples
Table showing derivation of initial terms. The ring element, z, represented by spiral cell m is shown in the form A307011(m) + A307012(m)*w, where w = 0.5*(1+sqrt(-7)). The column headed "(x,y)" gives x and y when z is written in the form z = x + y*sqrt(-7).
