So does anyone have orphingtons that lay narrow pointy eggs with speckles very small (conparing to their large size)

Most of my Orpingtons lay larger eggs with no speckles. They tend to be fatter, and not oblong.

Anything is possible.
Have you had this bird since it was a chick?
How old is she?
Has she always laid 'torpedo eggs'?

Pics of egg with quarter, and of bird, might shed some clues.

'Speckled' eggs can happen for several different reasons...very few 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.
