As with many discoveries, this one was quite by accident. I was making jewelry, and I had the "urge" to wrap an obsidian wand a certain way, with certain stones. As with all assemblies, I put it in a bag with other things that I would energize and bless before I put them on my display boards. I pulled out that obsidian wand and handed it to Rick Ferguson during set up at a fair the next weekend. Since he was busy setting up, he popped it into his pocket to look at later. Rick is a big jolly fellow that occasionally rubs the anal-retentive types the wrong way - - probably the reason we get along so well. During the day, some woman walked up to Rick and asked him if he would like some healing work. Rick said yes without asking what flavor of energy work, or who the woman's teacher was. He sat there, feeling this funky energy flying around him, but it wasn't sticking. The woman was doing her best to block his head chakras. Some time after that, I asked him what he thought of that piece I had handed him during set-up. He fished it out of his pocket and had this shocked look of realization. This kept him from getting "funked-up". I couldn't get it away from him, either. The rest is history.
Members of three different paranormal investigating groups in Houston consider these their P.P.E.s (Personal Protective Equipment). In fact, it is their members that dubbed them "Defunkers". People who do energy work like these both as tools for focusing energy and as protection from inappropriate energies. People who work in dense energy environments like bars and hospitals appreciate the "defunkers", too! These little assemblies have come in so handy on so many occasions, that they've become absolutely entrenched - - I have to keep these in inventory!
The mahogany obsidian is a nice, smooth, laid-back variety of obsidian. I've always liked how the black obsidian arrowheads look and feel, so I began making "Defunkers" out of them. Granted, the black obsidian is really tough looking, but it has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Obsidian is well known for it's capacity to shield against inappropriate energies. Wrapped along with this combination of stones, and energized by my angels, it has the vibration of Archangel Michael's sword. The energized combination is much more than the sum of its parts. When people are looking for something of a protective nature, I point them to these assemblies on my display boards and ask them to pick one up and hold it to see how it feels to them, and many of them purchase. I never hard-sell.
The "Defunker charm-collector" is a more stealthy method of packaging for this combination, great for wearing in a conservative workplace. I actually make a "defunker bracelet" which has the same protective vibe in your energy field, but does not really function as a tool.
Because of its nature and intent, it is best to wear your Defunker either over your thymus or solar plexus; whichever feels best to you. The funkier 
the environment you are in, the closer you need it to you. It works well worn inside your shirt, like Kevlar armor. It is more a statement of intent and strength when worn outside the clothing - - like subliminally saying, "don't jack with me".
