A little history of our store if you are interested-

Dave and Diane moved from New Jersey to Arizona in 1977 and sometime shortly after created 'Maerz Enterprises’ and ‘Doré’ Natural Jewelry’. They focused on creating beautiful gold electroformed jewelry featuring Arizona minerals. They attended many craft and gem fairs around the state, sold to the Smithsonian Institute to supply their gift shop, and shipped mail-order all over the world.

In the fall of 1989 they opened ‘Fantasia… The Crystal Source’ on McDowell road. After a year they moved to the store’s current location on 7th street and changed the name to ‘Fantasia… A Magical Place’. They offered a variety of crystals, metaphysical and occult goods, books, jewelry and also held many free classes each week. Amy, Dave and Diane’s daughter, spent much of her childhood at these gem fairs and worked at Fantasia for 4 years as a young adult.

Dave passed away in 1997 due to complications from a heart attack. It was a difficult time for everyone. Due to stress at her hospital job, and to help her mother, Amy decided to go back to work at Fantasia in 1999.

In 1999, Mike started an online music shop, which expanded to include a weekend only retail store in Glendale, called 'Majestic Darkness’, with a focus on music, clothing and occult items. After a year, the shop name was changed to ‘The Northern Winds’ and Mike moved the store into an extra room within Fantasia. Fantasia and The Northern Winds operated as two separate stores within one location, which had many benefits.

The Northern Winds offered all of the items that Fantasia didn't carry, with a focus on Pagan and Heathen traditions, and held many classes and meet-ups as well. Things went incredibly well for The Northern Winds, relying heavily on Fantasia's customer base, but also offering some new clientele to Fantasia. Overall it was of mutual benefit to have the two separate stores in one location.

In 2014, after nine years operating as two distinct stores, Diane officially retired and Amy and Mike purchased Fantasia from her. They legally merged Fantasia...A Magickal Place and The Northern Winds in May 2014 and renamed the store 'Fantasia Crystals LLC’.

The inventory of the two stores was quickly combined and the old Northern Winds room was transformed into the classroom that you see in the store today. Fantasia Crystals focused on dramatically increasing the inventory and worked very hard to represent, and offer merchandise for, as many different spiritual paths as they could. Amy and Mike decided to extend the store hours, bring in more staff, and to take different roles within the business. It was an exciting and busy transition! Diane continues to help out in the store; rolling magical candles, making Essential Oil and Chakra kits, and helping to make many of our specialty items. Erik, Mike and Amy’s son, is now the third generation, learning to make magical products from his mom, dad and grandmother. His newest offerings are Beeswax Reversible Candles and Essential Oil Bath Bombs.

Fantasia Crystals continues to add to the shop’s inventory, to search for the lowest prices, to uphold important values, to be of service to the community, and continue to offer a wide variety of merchandise, classes, readings and more for the diverse spiritual community in the Phoenix Area. Fantasia Crystals is blessed to have such amazing family, staff and clients and plans on continuing what has been set forth by Dave and Diane in their home nearly 38 years ago. Thank you to everyone who has supported Fantasia over the years!
