yes, they have to be next to each other. then you can tap/click on one and drag it to the one beside it to "swap" them, which triggers the special move. When swapping two special gems like that, they do not have to be the same colour or type. But if you want to use them as normal, they have to form a part of a match (three or more gems of the same colour), in which case they have to be the same colour as the other gems in the match (with the exception of the multicoloured gem, which is never used in a traditional match but is instead triggered whenever it is swapped with any adjacent gem, be it a regular gem or a special gem).
