On holy symbols, can they vary?

I mean, I have picked up a cool looking brass pendant, in a abstract style that I think would be perfect for the "orb of light" that the symbol is described as.

Is there an accepted version?

Most Valosian holy symbols look something like this: img1.etsystatic.com/011/0/7663806/il_170x135.466508437_32pd.jpg

That does not preclude other designs, but I think straying too far from that would mean most people wouldn't recognize it as such right away. If you want a rules marshal/RP marshal answer, I suggest you ask in realizing the character/rules, this is just someone who has a lot of friends that play clergy members, and Valosians.

Hope it helps!

You shouldn't have a problem, as long as it's clearly recognizable as a sun. For example, there are many different variations on Real-life Holy symbols due to stylization and different locales. However, Rachel is right, if you are really worried, you can post a picture of what you're looking at on the Realizing the Character/Rules boards, and someone will give you a definitive ruling.
