It was beside a monstera I had to throw out due to thrips, but the white spots here aren't thrips, they are attached to the leaf and don't come off when I rub.
The crystals are mineral deposits that are being released through the pores of the leaves when the plant transpires, it means the pilea is working as intended.
The dark patches however look like edema to me, which means you are over watering it, the cells of the plant can’t absorb anymore water and burst.

Water a lot less and you will be fine
