1) Yes, quite easily. If the gem loses contact with their skin at all, their consciousness will return to them without any problem. However, this is only the case if they are not looking at the gem also, at which point their consciousness will still be taken, albeit at a much slower rate. The point is to trick the person into thinking the gem is a normal piece of jewelry, have them wear it, and then steal their consciousness when they least expect it; either that or to simply overpower their opponent and force them to stay in contact with the gem.

2) Think of the eye contact like a form of hypnosis, taking anywhere between 15 and 30 seconds to seal. The skin contact would be much quicker, ranging anywhere from 1 to 3 seconds.
