A052160 Isolated prime difference equals 6: primes prime(k) such that d(k) = prime(k+1) - prime(k) = 6 but neither d(k+1) nor d(k-1) is 6.

Comments

Consecutive primes 17, 19, 23, 29, 31 give the pattern of first differences 2, 4, 6, 2 in which the neighboring differences of 6 are not equal to 6.

a(n) - 6 can be prime but not the prime immediately previous to a(n); e.g., 23 - 6 = 17, but the prime 19 lies between the two primes 17 and 23.
