If my team hasn't killed Herald, can I still pick up the Eye?

When you kill the Rift Herald, it drops the Rift Herald Eye, that a team member then picks up to use later.
If the other team gets last hit on the Rift Herald, but I push them away, can I pick up the eye, or is the eye locked to the team that last hitted, as tradition is in LoL?
Also, if they don't pick it up, how long is it available for?
