Cool looking Purple/pink egg

[Cjsgnn]

So my sweet black star has laid two of these eggs consistently. At first I was nervous, but found out that the bloom is to blame it protects the bacteria from entering the shells and helps keep it fresh.
Just wanted to share in case anyone else gets purple looking eggs and don't be nervous about it.

Have had several pinkish/purplish layers....it's the bloom that adds that tint.
