Egg shells speckled after cooking
I made some boiled eggs and they were white when they went in! I did water, two inches above the eggs (18 of them). 1/3c Apple cider vinegar, and 1T salt... I was using a cheap Walmart pan as we just moved and I bought it for like $5. It’s really thin. I brought to a boil and then cooked for 11-12 mins.

As you posted a high-res picture, I can clearly see that this is exactly like my grandmother's white eggs would look like after she boiled them in an aluminium kettle. AFAIK they don't sell these any more, so I'm surprised to see eggs like this again after 30 years.
After peeling, the discolouration wasn't noticeable any more.
If both assumptions above (Aluminium pot and not visible any more after peeling) they are safe to eat as Al2O3 is probably the root cause and it's safe according to this document published by the WHO.

Why do my eggs have speckles on the shell?
You may have noticed that some eggshells are discolored with dark brown spots. This is known as a \u201cspeckled\u201d egg. These dark splotches are created early in the process as the egg is traveling through the hen. As the egg passes through the oviduct (the organ that processes the yolk and adds the shell), it spins.Are speckled eggs OK to eat?
Blood spots are uncommon but can be found in both store-bought and farm-fresh eggs. They develop when tiny blood vessels in the hen's ovaries or oviduct rupture during the egg-laying process. Eggs with blood spots are safe to eat, but you can scrape the spot off and discard it if you prefer.Why do my hard boiled eggs have brown spots?
All it really means is that the egg was overcooked. It may be unsightly, but it's not dangerous. However, if the yolk or egg white have dark brown, black or green spots on them, it may be a sign that they have come into contact with some type of bacteria. They are not safe to consume and should be tossed immediately.Why are my eggs speckled white?
White Banded Eggs. If two eggs come into contact with each other in the shell gland pouch, normal calcification is interrupted. The first egg retained in the pouch will have an extra layer of calcium seen as the white band marking.Sources: Stack Exchange - This article follows the attribution requirements of Stack Exchange and is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
