They are a sign of a lack of calcium and vitamins in one's diet.

Calcium deposits.
Funny how many people said "Lack of calcium". That's a myth. :)
It's not because there's not enough, it's from having TOO MUCH. It is from NOT ENOUGH zinc. Zinc helps break down calcium in one's body. Too much calcium and not enough zinc to help the body absord it and BAM, you have calcium deposits. It's common and no big deal.
If the body has too much calcium, it can form calcium deposits. Calcium in the fingernails make them so soft they tear instead of break.

Sometimes it can be a calcium deficency. (Not enough of it.) Sometimes it can be from bumping your hand on something. Kinda like mini bruises under your nail.
