Two blocks of unequal masses are tied by...

Two blocks of unequal masses are tied by a spring. The blocks are pulled stretching the spring slightly and the system is released on a frictionless horizontal platform. Are the forces due to the spring on the two blocks equal and opposite. If yes, is it can example of Newton's third law?
