Calcium would not cause blue spots. Scale is usually white to tan. Blue is caused by copper. Period. End of story. It would be possible for copper stains to form on existing scale, however.
Sources of copper can be algaecide, heat exchangers exposed to low pH (usually from use of trichlor), the use of ionizers and "mineral' systems (ecosmarte, ClFree, Nature2, Poolfrog) or copper based "alternative sanitizers" (Pristine Blue, SimplyBluePool), copper pipes, and even the fill water itself.
