Hello! This is my first year having chickens and collecting eggs and I’ve gotten a few eggs with some spots on them. I looked it up and I think it’s calcium deposits on one not sure if the other egg is just the type of egg the chicken lays but wanted to get some feedback! Thanks!

Calcium deposits are little raised bumps.
These eggs appear to just be their normal coloration in the bloom on the shell. They are pretty!

What beautiful eggs! I'm hoping for purple like the one on the right.
 
'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.
