This is one of those "I don't see any reason why not" sorts of questions, but it does seem a little bit odd.
(Reason: my alchemist would benefit greatly from a Discerning Wayfinder, but he's way, way, way, way too attached to his Igniting Wayfinder to give it up. A Discering Wayfinder may be far more useful, especially for an Alchemist who knows Spellcraft but can't cast Detect Magic, but it just doesn't make you giggle the way an Igniting Wayfinder does.)

The auras of multiple augmenting wayfinders tend to
interfere with each other; a person with one who tries to hold
or carry a second usually finds that both sputter out in just a few seconds, but activate again once the second one is set
aside. Some advanced, expensive wayfinders may hold more
than one ioun stone at the same time and still function (though
another wayfinder can interfere if brought too close).
As Sapphire Onion said, if you are augmenting ioun stones with your wayfinders, they interfere with one another.

You can own as many wayfinders as you have money for. You just can only benefit from at most one resonant power at a time.
Jeff,
To correct this:
You can only benefit from the resonant powers from standard (neither flawed or cracked) Ioun stones inserted into one wayfinder.
There are several wayfinders that can slot more than one Ioun stone, including at least one that can slot three at the same time.
Indeed, one of my PCs bought an Ebon wayfinder (which can hold two Ioun stones) recently, but wound up with no Ioun stones in it, after all, since, as a human, the Darkvision was too useful.

Fair enough. I'd forgotten that there are wayfinders with more than one slot as I've never seen anyone purchase one around here.
They are expensive, with the Ebon, at 18K gp, being the least expensive 2-slot wayfinder. Assuming I ever get to play or give that PC GM credit, and he gets back up to that much money, he'll probably buy a second one, so he can get both his clear spindle and dusty rose prism Ioun stones imbedded in it, rather than just the dusty rose prism he usually has there.

Also remember you cannot use it both as a light source and for a resonant power as slotting a stone inhibits a standard wayfinder's normal powers. If you are using it for a light source then that means you have removed the stone.
And, besides the multiple sources for free wayfinders, this is another reason to have two or more.
"Let's see, this wayfinder prevents mental domination, this wayfinder casts Daylight, this wayfinder casts Detect Magic, and this wayfinder casts light."

Hey, Kyle:
We need an ex-Pathfinder opponent, who drops her own ioun-stone-enhanced Wayfinder into a PC's backpack as a combat maneuver so that both shut down.
Eeeevil…
Back when the Shadow Lodge was a playable faction, I considered playing a character wearing "Pathfinder Scale," which was scale armor made out of broken wayfinders recovered from deceased field agents.
Bit of a necro but just wanted to clarify as this came up at a PFS table recently.
I have 2 ioun stones; 1 regular and 1 cracked. They are each inserted into regular Wayfinders. Only the regular stone is augmenting its wayfinder for the extra power. So I can carry both Wayfinders on my belt and benefit from both ioun stones and the augmented power of the regular stone.
Yes or no?
Cracked and flawed ioun stones are often better to just jam into your skin somewhere under your armour. Pick a star constellation pattern if you'd like. Or if you probably needed to retry that check (not applicable in PFS I know) they are likely somewhere random on their body and have like 20 scars for each stone for all the failed attempts...

OMG, yes. This needs to be a 7-11 in Season 7!
This invisible ex-Pathfinder of course needs to be part of a trio where her two allies happen to be kitsune enchanters/oracles who each come out of delay to cast Dominate Person as their next action with their misfortunes at the ready...
Before this all happens:
GM: So, Jim. Your bloodrager always uses power attack and reckless rage when he attacks, right?
