It is found that when gravitational effects are taken into account, the two historical independent traditional hallmarks of ideal superconductors---perfect conductivity (\ensuremathσ) and perfect diamagnetism characterized by zero permeability (\ensuremathμ)---are actually related to each other in terms of a theoretical \ensuremathσ-\ensuremathμ model developed in this paper. Our result suggests a possible importance of gravitational effects in understanding superconductivity.
