It was the Pendleton that gave The Dude his powers. The Pendleton had the Shine. It traveled from wearer to wearer. Here, it helped a man save Leigh Cabot's life from the murderous Christine. Eventually, that man would pass away, and it would find its way into the hands of a new owner: The Dude. Where it goes from there, nobody knows. I don't know about you but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' the Pendleton's out there
