Do the spots on this egg mean anything?

Got an egg today with white little spots all over it. I don’t know if that means anything or not. Thought I’d ask people smarter than me about chickens.

Looks like bloom to me.

'Speckled' eggs can happen for several different reasons...very few, if any, of which are a 'problem'.
Can be caused by:
Excess or uneven pigment coating.
Excess or uneven cuticle(bloom).
Excess calcium deposits.
Porous eggs can appear speckled.
Some birds lay them consistently, some only once in awhile.
The pigment or bloom can change appearance when wet, then change back when dry again.

As long as bird is getting a good diet and is healthy in every other way, it is no cause for concern.
 
I appreciate everyone’s help. I was pretty sure it’s nothing to be concerned about just never saw it before. I love this site. It’s great to be able to get information rapidly
